The Patriots were just 1-for-4 in the red zone last week against the Dolphins. That was the difference in the Patriots season opening 17-16 loss. The Jets defense had a strong performance against the Panthers last week in the red zone as they held them to one TD in four trips. Gang Green needs that same energy to carry over because the Patriots will move the ball in between the 20s. But once they’re in the red zone, they can’t break. That will keep the game close enough and buy the Jets offense time to get rolling.
RUN THE ROCK
The Jets need to run the ball better if they have any chance of winning this game.
