Jets Beat Patriots 24-3 in Home Opener

In a dominant performance, the New York Jets defeated the New England Patriots 24-3 in their home opener, marking Aaron Rodgers' return to MetLife Stadium after his Achilles injury. Rodgers showcased his skills, completing 27 of 35 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Jets to a much-needed victory after an eight-game home losing streak against the Patriots. New York's defense was relentless, sacking Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett five times and limiting the team's offense to just 93 net yards. The loss highlighted major issues for the Patriots, who struggled offensively and defensively, with running back Rhamondre Stevenson fumbling and failing to generate significant yardage. This defeat signifies a troubling trend for New England, now 1-2 on the season, as they prepare to face the formidable San Francisco 49ers next. The Jets improved to 2-1, snapping a 15-game losing streak against the Patriots in the process.
