Patriots vs. Jets result: Aaron Rodgers leads blowout win while Drake Maye makes garbage-time debut

If New York Jets fans were asked to realistically visualize how they wanted their “Thursday Night Football” game against the New England Patriots to go, it might have looked a lot like the actual game.

Led by a strong night from Aaron Rodgers, who was 27-of-35 for 281 yards and two touchdowns, the Jets steamrolled their old bullies 24-3 to improve their record to 2-1. Overall, they outgained the Patriots 400-139.

The Patriots offensive line allowed a brutal night for Jacoby Brissett, and they were later asked to protect No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye in his NFL debut. The former UNC star 4-of-8 for 22 passing yards, plus 12 rushing yards in a single drive.

Here’s how it all went down on Yahoo Sports:

LIVE COVERAGE IS OVER56 updates

  • FINAL: Jets 24, Patriots 3

    The Patriots reached the Jets’ 7-yard line but the game will end their. A thorough dismantling by New York, who outgained New England 400-139.

  • And now Maye scrambles on 3rd-and-3 and gets slammed down for a gain of 1. Patriots go for it on fourth and get it with a run by Antonio Gibson.

  • Maye’s first pass: a near-pick in the middle of coverage.

  • Ooh, here comes No. 3 pick Drake Maye to make his NFL debut in garbage time.

  • We’re in the “Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit discuss Shohei Ohtani” segment of the game.

  • Another Jets sack, another Patriots fourth down. They have 102 total yards with less than nine minutes remaining in the game.

  • FIELD GOAL: Jets move up three touchdowns in fourth quarter

    This thing is all but over. At this point, the Patriots’ priority might just be keeping Brissett healthy.

  • FUMBLE: Chuck Clark gets the ball back for Jets

    Clark ran in and ripped the ball out of Rhamondre Stevenson’s hands. It remains all Jets here, even if they’re not converting on 3rd-and-33.

  • And the Jets get stopped on 3rd-and-33.

  • And it all ends with another sack, which pushes them back to the 45-yard line on fourth down. Now they’re punting. Brutal.

  • Out of nowhere, the Patriots ripped off plays of 22 and 19 yards on their first two plays of the drive to reach well into Jets territory.
