EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A season of seeing not believing reached Week 6 with the Jets — hoping to contend by 2020 if things go exceeding well — at an unlikely 3-2.
In case you need a double-take to grasp that, there may not be anything wrong with your eyesight if you failed to discern one fumble Sunday on the touchdown that turned into a touchback, and turned into the big play in the Patriots’ 24-17 escape against the Jets.
Jets tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, racing to the corner against Malcolm Butler and Patrick Chung, appeared to make contact with the pylon for a touchdown that would have cut the Patriots’ fourth-quarter lead over the Jets to 24-21.
