Bill Burt: White to Pats rescue ... again

Sep. 20—E. RUTHERFORD, N.J. — I went to a highly-anticipated "Rookie Quarterback Battle of the Century" in northern New Jersey on Sunday.

But, a "James White Saved The Day Again" game broke out in favor of the New England Patriots, 25-6 over the New York Jets.

This is crazy, it really is, White saving the Patriots' skin yet again.

The Patriots probably would have won eventually with Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, the real Patriots MVP, throwing four, unprovoked, non-pressured interceptions.

But the Patriots' offense was anemic, which was understandable considering it was Mac Jones' first road game in a very hostile (at least the first half) MetLife Stadium.
