Tom Brady (231 passing yards, one touchdown) was without a number of receiving weapons (Damon Amendola, Julian Edelman) due to injury, which limited the effectiveness of a Patriots’ offense that managed to muster only 13 points and 284 yards of total offense on the afternoon. In three of the last four games, Fitzpatrick has driven the Jets to a win in the final two minutes of regulation or overtime.

The Patriots gifted NY the first possession of overtime, and under the now not-so-new rules that require a manifesto-style explanation, the Jets could win the game with a touchdown.
Marshall recorded his ninth 100-yard performance of the season, matching a team record set by WR Don Maynard (1967), and the 43 such game of his career. Not only did the Jets come out and play with a sense of urgency, but the fact that they were able to close out the game – which they didn’t do in their first meeting of the season – shows a clear sign of growth and maturity.
