Jets can't keep up with Patriots, suffer fifth loss in row

The Jets played better than they did the last time they were in MetLife Stadium. They showed up for a little more than a half this time.

After playing the great Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to a standstill into the third quarter, the Jets completely fell apart — especially on defense. They gave up too many big plays, never put any pressure on Brady and dropped their fifth straight game, 27-13, on Sunday.

It’s the Jets’ first five-game losing streak under embattled coach Todd Bowles, whose team and defensive isn’t making a strong case for him to return for a fifth season.
