Bengals vs Browns Preview
The Jets are coming off a disappointing 30-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys Week 2. Quarterback Zach Wilson struggled, completing 12-of-27 attempts for 170 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions in the loss. New York had four turnovers on offense, and its defense didn’t force one, which contributed to the lopsided nature of the game.
The Patriots are fresh from their second straight loss, falling to the Miami Dolphins, 24-17, Week 2. New England QB Mac Jones went 31-42 for 231 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the loss. The Pats only managed 88 yards on the ground in the game, and it won’t come easier this week against a Jets defense that is allowing 3.5 yards per rush.
The Patriots have won 14 in a row against the Jets, but apparently, that doesn’t matter much to either team heading into this one.
“I get what happened in the past, but looking at the past and dwelling on the past and what could have been, is just taking away from what we can do now,” Jets head coach Robert Saleh said about the rivalry with New England. “Yes, it’s New England and it’s a division game and the past is the past, but all our focus is on today, trying to be our best version of ourselves, so we can find a way to get this one on Sunday.”
You can bet Bill Belichick and the Pats aren’t about to overlook look Saleh and company, particularly on defense.
“They’ve got a good core group of players. Defensively, they’re aggressive,” Belichick said about the Jets. “Certainly, (Sauce) Gardner has been a great addition for them last year. They have a real good front, disruptive front. (Jermaine) Johnson’s playing well. They drafted (Will) McDonald (IV), obviously (Quinnen) Williams, (John) Franklin-Myers, those guys are tough. They play about nine guys up there and they all play, and they’re all disruptive.”
“They don’t really have a complex offense. It’s pretty simple for the quarterback to get,” Jets CB Sauce Gardner said about the Patriots. “The gap scheme, everything is really simple. But they excel at it. What they try to do is get other people to mess up and make mistakes.”
It’s safe to say whichever team makes fewer mistakes should get the ‘W’ here. New England leads the all-time series, 73-54-1. The Patriots are favored by 2.5 points in this one.
