Jets vs. Patriots final score, results: Aaron Rodgers makes strong home debut as New York’s defense dominates in divisional win | Sporting News United Kingdom

The Aaron Rodgers-led Jets are looking more dangerous by the week. 

To kick off Week 3 of the NFL season, New York hosted the Patriots on “Thursday Night Football” and took care of business. The Jets cruised to a 24-3 win over New England behind 281 passing yards and two touchdowns from Rodgers and a dominant defensive effort, improving to 2-1 this season.

From start to finish, the Patriots’ offense found no rhythm. Their run game was shut down by the Jets, and Jacoby Brissett threw for just 98 yards on 12 completions. New York recorded six sacks in the game, an effort that was led by two from 2023 first-round pick Will McDonald IV.

As the fourth quarter clock ticked down in the blowout, New England head coach Jerod Mayo made the decision to replace Brissett with rookie Drake Maye. He finished with 22 passing yards in his NFL debut during the final frame of a lopsided matchup.

It was a tough four quarters for a Patriots team that was beginning to look like a solid squad under Mayo after coming in at 1-1 with a win over the Bengals and an overtime loss to the Seahawks. Through three weeks, New England is tough to get a read on, but its offensive output was uninspiring on Thursday night.

As for the Jets, Rodgers had his best game yet in front of the home crowd at MetLife Stadium, and their offense continued to rely on the rushing duo of Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, who both finished with over 50 rushing yards. New York put together a strong overall effort on Thursday and continued to assert itself as a legitimate contender to win the AFC East this season.
