The Patriots got off the schneid and into the win column with another low-scoring, physical, hard-fought win over the Jets. So, I guess you could say it was 15 for 15, as Sunday marked the 15th straight win over the Jets.
The game wasn’t high-scoring, with many beautiful offensive chunk plays. It was an ugly, rock-fight type of game and typical of many Patriots-Jets clashes, especially in recent years. Both teams were physical and wanted to assert their will on the other.
But style points aside, the team needed this win to avoid falling into a 0-3 hole.
