The New York Jets will not soon forget their loss on Sunday — even if they’d like to. The New England Patriots absolutely dominated the Jets in Week 7 in a 54-13 beatdown. There wasn’t a single thing the Jets did better than the Patriots.
It was such a one-sided affair that the Patriots’ backup offensive unit led a late scoring drive, with quarterback Brian Hoyer, receiver N’Keal Harry and running back J.J. Taylor leading a touchdown drive. Even in the depths of garbage time, the Jets offense couldn’t get yardage, with rookie running back Michael Carter fumbling the football with two minutes left in the game. It was long over at that point.
It was the Patriots’ strongest performance of the year. And, perhaps, they’re finally starting to play like the team they think they are. Perhaps they’re starting to play like a playoff contender.
