Jets Break Home Losing Streak Against Patriots

In a triumphant return to MetLife Stadium, Aaron Rodgers led the New York Jets to a dominant 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots, marking his first full game since a season-ending Achilles injury. Rodgers showcased his skill with 281 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions, while the Jets' defense overwhelmed the Patriots, collecting seven sacks and 15 quarterback hits. The Jets' win broke an eight-game home losing streak against the Patriots, who struggled offensively, managing only 139 total yards. Patriots' players and coaches acknowledged the poor performance, with safety Jabrill Peppers and quarterback Jacoby Brissett candidly admitting they were outplayed. Key contributions included Breece Hall and rookie Braelon Allen combining for 109 rushing yards and a touchdown, and Will McDonald IV adding 2.5 sacks. This victory marks the Jets' second consecutive win and provides hope for a successful season.
