The Jets played far better than they did the last time they were in MetLife Stadium. They showed up for a half this time.
After playing the Patriots to a standstill into the third quarter, the Jets fell apart. Especially on defense. They gave up too many big plays and dropped their fifth straight game, 27-13 Sunday. It’s the Jets’ first five-game losing streak under embattled coach Todd Bowles.
This was the Jets’ first game since they were blown out at home by Buffalo two weeks, and it looked like they were up for the challenge of playing their chief rival.
