Patriots vs. Jets: Full Report Card Grades for New England
New England has won, and covered, all three times they were a double digit favorite this season, but they should get a solid effort from the Jets in this one.
When the New England Patriots have secured home field advantage throughout the playoffs, they have often advanced to the Super Bowl. The 30 completions were the second-most he’s ever had against the Jets. And in the end, the Jets didn’t give much of a fight in a 41-3 loss at Gillette Stadium on Christmas Eve.
Furthermore for Brady, his 18-yard touchdown strike to tight end Matt Lengel (raise your hand if you asked “who’s that?”) against the Jets marked the 64th different player he’s connected with for a touchdown in his career, which is the second-highest mark in National Football League history behind Vinny Testaverde’s 70.
The Patriots beat the Jets Saturday afternoon in their Week 16 matchup against the Jets. Brady’s day was over after his second drive in the second half.
Floyd, whom the Cards picked 13th overall in the 2012 draft, played in all 14 games with the Cardinals this season before being cut last week.
Momentum is not the only thing that is different to last season, one of the two biggest changes involves the better performance of the defensive unit.
As it stands, he has the most wins in franchise history, and by a landslide – more than triple that of Mike Holovak, who is the runner-up. The Jets fell to 4-11.
At this time, it’s unknown if he will be able to attend the game in any capacity, per the report.
Tom Brady did what Tom Brady does, throwing for three touchdowns and zero turnovers before being relieved by backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. This time around, Folk connected on the 29-yard field goal. Edelman holds the franchise record with 9 straight.
Marshall had a target intercepted by cornerback Eric Rowe.
The Patriots defense was not done yet. Brown’s status in the doghouse is worth monitoring.
The New England Patriots are hoping to avoid some deja vu over the final two weeks of the regular season. A week after taking a brutal sandwich hit from Miami’s Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake, Petty looked jumpy and uncomfortable behind a patchwork offensive line.
