Jets' Jamal Adams on matchup with Patriots: 'To be the best, you got to beat the best'

Jets safety Jamal Adams wasted little time and minced no words when he was asked what’s special about facing the Patriots.

“Tom Brady,” Adams said. “It’s simple, man.”

Even though Brady was limited this week with a knee issue and didn’t practice Friday because of an illness, the Jets prepared to play the ageless wonder Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The 41-year-old Brady has thrown 17 touchdowns for the 7-3 Patriots, who are aiming for their 10th straight AFC East title.

Like the Jets, the Patriots are coming off a bye following an unexpected lopsided loss. Brady looked his age his last time out.
