The New York Jets may be close to the bottom, as the New England Patriots shocked them with a 25-22 victory thanks to a last second touchdown drive led by Jacoby Brissett.
The Jets have lost five games in a row, moving to 2-6 while the Patriots have the same record.
Aaron Rodgers led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive capped by Braelon Allen’s two-yard run to give the Jets a 22-17 lead that left the Patriots with less than three minutes to respond with a touchdown of their own.

Brissett, who came into this game for injured rookie quarterback Drake Maye, used that time to his advantage. The big play came on third-and-10 from the Jets’ 43-yard line, where Brissett hit Kayshon Boutte for a 34-yard gain that put the Patriots in the red zone.
Several attempts later, the Patriots were finally able to punt into the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line, as Rhamondre Stevenson burst through tacklers for a touchdown.
PATRIOTS’ DRAKE MAYE LEAVES GAME AFTER HIT HIS LIMIT ON RUNNING PLAY
A shell-shocked Jets team didn’t run out of time, as Rodgers tried to get into field goal range to give the team a chance in overtime.
However, after a 16-yard completion to Davante Adams, he was unable to get out of bounds and the clock expired for the Patriots’ victory.

The Jets’ kicking was an atrocious affair again in this game, as Greg Zuerlein missed a field goal and missed an extra point. Zuerlein struggled in the Jets’ loss to the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago, so it’s likely that GM Joe Douglas will have to think about his starting quarterback position.
Rodgers was 17 of 28 for 233 yards with two passing touchdowns, finding Tyler Conklin and Xavier Gipson for scores.
For the Patriots, Brissett was 15-for-24 for 132 yards after stepping in for Maye, but it was Stevenson who found the end zone twice despite rushing for just 48 yards on 20 carries.

While the Patriots were able to break their losing streak, the Jets, who are in “win-now mode” after trading Adams, will have to go back to the drawing board again as they continue to look for answers to win.
