The New England Patriots defeated the New York Jets by a 15-10 score on Sunday.
It wasn’t pretty, but thanks to a big helping hand from the Patriots defense, quarterback Mac Jones and company got the job done in the end. Jones passed for 201 yards and a touchdown against a tough Jets defense.
Buy Patriots TicketsRunning the football was the theme on Sunday afternoon, especially in rainy conditions. Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott carried the ball 16 times for 80 yards and helped pace the New England rushing attack.
For the Patriots overall, it was a day of inconsistencies. But a win is still a win. New England got their first victory of the season, as they look to stay afloat in a difficult AFC East division.
Patriots Twitter had fun with the victory, which marked the team’s 15th straight against the Jets.
Patriots will forever be the Jets daddy

Jets fans were in full meltdown around me. They can’t beat us. I love it.

What's frustrating about today's loss is that the #Jets are much more talented than the Patriots.
However, it wasn't even a factor. Bill Belichick embarrassed NYJ's offense… again.

Patriots pull that W right out at the very last minute there, but hey, a win is a win and we really needed that one!! PS it’s always fun to beat the Jets #foreverNE

The Patriots and Jets could combine football teams and still would be awful.

Jets defense held the Patriots to 15 points, and the Patriots seemed like that started at the 50 yardline all game! Also, they got the big stop and gave the team a chance to win! The defense is fine. But 3 guys are to blame the Owner GM and QB! How they continue to use Zack idk…

Belichick needs to go.
Bill was the reason the Patriots became a better team.
BUT
Brady was the reason we won.Belichick changed the mentality in New England, that we were never good enough to win bc we only celebrated personal stats so I am deeply grateful but his job is done

Did I just watch a Pop Warner game? Jesus, these two teams are bad…..

I love this team but no it’s not. Offensively we need to figure something out. Absolutely embarrassing we couldn’t close that game and just let them hang around again and again and it almost bit us on the Hail Mary.

Lord y’all almost let that hailmary work

That was not good enough
Happy with the W but do better next week— VeryDepressedBruinsFan (@paSTANrnak88) September 24, 2023

2 moral victories and the worst possible win to climb to 1-2 🔥
