Jets vs. Patriots live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ Week 3 game | Sporting News

An AFC East rivalry matchup is set to kick off Week 3 of the NFL season.

The Patriots will pay a visit to the Jets on “Thursday Night Football” this week, with both teams standing at 1-1 through early action. 

While New York enters the game favorited to win its second-straight contest, the Patriots have established themselves as a tougher opponent to beat than some expected entering the season. Led by veteran QB Jacoby Brissett and RB Rhamondre Stevenson, New England has shown toughness through two games under new head coach Jerod Mayo.

After the team parted ways with legendary coach Bill Belichick in the offseason, Mayo has guided New England to a 16-10 win over the Bengals in Week 1 and a 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks in Week 2.

On Thursday, the Patriots are aiming to contain a Jets offense that’s slowly figuring things out. We’ve finally gotten our first looks at QB Aaron Rodgers in action with New York, and through two games, Rodgers has 343 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception. 

While its Week 1 loss to the defending NFC champion 49ers wasn’t an ideal way to open the season, New York bounced back with a 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. So far, the Jets have heavily relied on their multi-talented RB duo of Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, who have each caught a touchdown pass from Rodgers.

Rodgers, 40, is still readjusting to the field after his season-ending injury in 2023, but the Jets enter Thursday with momentum on their side. On the other hand, New England will be looking to continue asserting itself as a serious playoff threat in the AFC despite being originally projected by many to finish in the bottom tier of the league.

10:26 p.m. — Jets fans seem to be enjoying their new quarterback making his home debut tonight.

10:23 p.m. — Once again, the Patriots’ mistakes come back to bite them. After two holding calls in a row, a 21-yard gain is erased. On 3rd & 14, New York’s Quinnen Williams gets to Brissett for a sack, and New England will punt once again.

10:05 p.m. — After some short-yardage gains to begin their first second-half drive, the Jets are once again inside New England’s 20-yard line. Rodgers completes a pass to Conklin for 18 yards to keep New York’s offense rolling.

9:58 p.m. — Not finding much offensively, the Patriots punt after a three-and-out. Their offensive struggles have been clear tonight:

9:55 p.m. — New England begins the second half with the ball, still looking to put its first touchdown in the books.

9:10 p.m. — New England can’t build much offensive momentum right now. Rhamondre Stevenson picks up 20 yards on the ground, but it gets called back for a face mask. A Jets penalty then gives the Patriots a first down, but Brissett is then sacked by Chuck Clark to move right back.
