Game Recap
For much of the first half, the Jets hung around in the fight against Bill Belichick’s Patriots. The defense only allowed 7 points, despite letting up long gains via the run, including a 49-yard keeper by Cam Newton. Then, the offense established a 10-play, 80-yard drive just before the half to tie the game, capped off by a spectacular throw and catch from Sam Darnold to Chris Herndon. A glimpse at what could’ve been, had things gone better in New York.
In the second half, however, New England pulled away, with wide open touchdown completions to Devin Asiasi and Sony Michel.
