Fifteen of the New England’s first 16 plays were passes.

Go ahead, make the New England Patriots a one-dimensional offense.
Brady also established a New England franchise record with his 213th career start, passing Bruce Armstrong (offensive tackle, 212 games 1987-2000). On the Jets second-to-last drive, trailing by three near midfield, he went to tight end Jeff Cumberland (three catches on the season) and Devin Smith (six) on second and third down when he had better options elsewhere. Force someone else to step into the spotlight.
Yesterday’s loss to the New England Patriots has the New York Jets angry. Nor did he use one after Brady’s 7-yard pass to Danny Amendola, immediately after the two-minute warning, gave New England a second-and-3 at the Jets’ 15. We didn’t have to get to them so that was good.
Amendola thought nothing of his production.
“It’s all right. I can handle it”, he said. When LaFell dropped his first catch, Brady made sure to tell him that he was coming right back to him again.
“We made the plays when we needed to make them and that was the important thing”, Brady said.
Jacksonville 34, Buffalo 31: Blake Bortles threw a touchdown pass to Allen Hurns with 2:16 remaining and Jacksonville rallied in the game at Wembley Stadium in London. Talk about dropping the ball, Patriots receivers looked like the Texas Rangers’ infield. That is what the Jets gave the Patriots Sunday, and it came back to bite them.
At least Hunter isn’t on the list of the receivers with the most drops, which includes two of Ryan’s favorite targets: Leonard Hankerson (seven) and Julio Jones (six), and Edelman also has seven. “I’ve been a victim of that in my career, too”.
RAIDERS 37, CHARGERS 29: At San Diego, Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes, including a 52-yarder to Amari Cooper, and Oakland (3-3) turned two interceptions of Philip Rivers into 10 points on its way to an easy victory over San Diego (2-5).
The Jets could let this loss derail their season and send them back into ineptitude.
“There are no statements when you lose”, he said. On third-and-6 from the 8, he lined up on the left and immediately liked what he saw.
“There is a lot of fight in this team, but we know that”, Fitzpatrick said.
“We didn’t come here to play them close”, Fitzpatrick said. ‘Why would it be different now?’ I explained to him this is why. The Patriots offense ranked first overall in Adjusted NEP per play, third through the air and first on the ground.
According to the New York Daily News, Ivory said that he will be “ready” for next week against the Raiders, but there is a chance he could be limited in practice.
Sitting in shotgun with a few plays designed for the down and distance, Brady recognizes the Jets blitz call and assumes wideout Julian Edelman will make an unplanned adjustment to his pattern.
He cut across the middle and leaped to catch the pass at the goal line.

“You can’t worry”, Gronkowski said of being down the in fourth quarter. With just over three minutes left in the first half, near the left sideline, LaFell was hit hard by safety Calvin Pryor but still picked up 19 yards. After knocking off the Jets, the schedule is really starting to lighten-up for the Patriots. However, when the game first began, things were looking a tad bit odd considering what the so-called experts had to say before the teams ran out onto the field. They’re not obliterating opponents, they’re not that much better than everyone, but for now, with mostly weak opponents on their schedule, they’ve been doing just fine; ideal in fact.
