In a heated build-up to the Thursday night clash against the New England Patriots, New York Jets fans escalated their rivalry by burning a Patriots jersey featuring the No. 10, worn by rookie quarterback Drake Maye. This spectacle took place in the parking lot of MetLife Stadium, where fans chanted 'J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets' while igniting the jersey, symbolizing their disdain for the rival team. The Jets, coming off a victory against the Titans, faced the Patriots, who were also 1-1 but started veteran Jacoby Brissett instead of Maye. Aaron Rodgers, making his first appearance at MetLife Stadium since his season-ending injury last year, was the focal point of fan excitement, throwing for over 200 yards and two touchdowns during the game. Despite the Jets' mixed start to the season, they managed to secure a victory over the Patriots, marking a reversal of fortunes in their longstanding rivalry. The atmosphere was charged with passion, showcasing an emerging fervor among Jets fans, traditionally seen as less intense compared to other NFL fanbases.
