If the New York Jets are going to snap their 14-game losing streak against the New England Patriots, it’s likely going to start with defensive dominance.
The Jets’ defense is equipped to silence New England’s offense. Since the start of 2022, New York has allowed the fifth-fewest points per game (19.1) while New England is ranked 19th in points per game (21.1).
There is one area where the Patriots will be especially overmatched against the Jets’ defense: their wide receivers against the Jets’ cornerbacks.
New England’s wide receiver unit has been one of the least efficient in the NFL through two weeks, ranking 31st in the league with an average of just 4.
