E. RUTHERFORD, N.J. – How many times does this ring true. Make more plays than the other guys and you win.

Basically, the Patriots still don’t look like a Super Bowl contender, even though they are currently second in the AFC going into Sunday’s game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium. The defense is still not elite, the Patriots have some key injuries, the running game is good but not great, and opponents seem to play their best game of the season against the Patriots. Add to that a divisional opponent on the road, and the Patriots have a much tougher opponent in the Jets than you might see on paper.
