33 thoughts on the Patriots’ win over the Jets

COMMENTARY

Thirty-three thoughts on the Patriots’ 33-0 win over the Jets …

1. The Patriots offense was perfectly fine Monday night, scoring on a methodical first drive, using a new cast of temporary fullbacks (Elandon Roberts! James Ferentz!) to plow the way for three Sony Michel touchdowns, and Tom Brady played with an edge, performing even better than his numbers (31 of 45, 249 yards, one touchdown) indicated. Too bad they can’t clone that guy.

2. But this is about the defense. It has to be about the defense, because this season so far is about this extraordinary, ferocious, relentless defense.
