๐ Stock Report | Jets DE Will McDonald IV Ranks No. 2 in NFL in Sacks
๐ Patriots Run Defense
The Patriots have allowed 363 rushing yards over the last two games (181.5 avg). The Jets ran for 133 yards on 33 carries when these teams played in Week 3 (4.0 avg) and RB Breece Hall ran for a career-high 178 yards the last time the Green & White played in Foxborough (Week 18 last season).
“They do a lot, but there’s some parts of their defense you can take advantage of,” Hall said of New England’s rushing defense. “They do so much that they can confuse you, but if you’re on your Ps and Qs, you can find little holes in their defense and make them pay for it.”
Hall, who’s coming off a game with 141 scrimmage yards (103 receiving), is the only running back in the NFL with at least 300 yards rushing and receiving. He leads all RBs with 307 receiving yards.
