In what may have been Bill Belichick’s final game as coach, the New England Patriots lost to the New York Jets, 17-3, in Foxboro on Sunday for the first time in 15 matchups.
Snowy and windy conditions throughout led to the kind of old-school football that Belichick would likely revel in. The quarterbacks of both teams combined for just over 150 passing yards while New York fed running back Breece Hall over 30 times to dominate the ground game.
Moreover, field goals made up the only scoring in the contest until a late-game Jets touchdown put New York two scores ahead of New England with just a few minutes remaining.
