Matt Forte (knee, shoulder) doubtful for Jets vs. Patriots
Rowe has carved out a nice role in New England and his second career interception came against the same team as his first interception. The loss of Dion Lewis and LeGarrette Blount last season changed the way the Patriots had to operate and in the biggest moments, Steven Jackson and James White could not get the job done. Later in the game, in the fourth quarter, Jimmy Garoppolo was not able to connect with Floyd in the back of the end zone.
Wide receiver Michael Floyd is active for the New England Patriots’ game against the New York Jets on Saturday, just 10 days after he was released by the Arizona Cardinals following an arrest on charges of driving under the influence.
In a statement posted on the team’s website, the Jets said Bowles was in stable condition, but it was uncertain if he would eventually join the team in time for the game.
“It’s inexcusable, we can’t turn the ball over, whether it’s [Bryce Petty] or whether it’s [Ryan Fitzpatrick]”, said head coach Todd Bowles about his teams four turnovers.
But injuries for NY continue to pile up.
Bowles is in his second season with the Jets, and it hasn’t gone well.
He was replaced by backup Ryan Fitzpatrick, but it did little to improve New York’s fortunes on offense. WR Julian Edelman picked up 5 receptions for 89 yards, extending his 70+ receiving yard streak to 7 games, the third longest in franchise history.
Jets quarterback Bryce Petty is expected to play Saturday, though he’s not expected to play well. The Patriots got the ball on a Malcolm Butler interception, and drove 47 yards on eight plays.
The future Hall of Fame quarterback threw three first-half TDs en route to his 204th victory, the most of any other quarterback in National Football League history. The quarterback went 17-for-27 passing with 214 yards and three touchdowns. Powell will likely start again in his place.
Lengel was an undrafted free agent who spent last season on the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad.
On this ensuing possession, the Patriots would have to settle for a Gostkowski 22 yard field goal to go up 13-0 with 11:13 left to play in the half.
