Patriots: With quick turnaround, Tuesday a big day for Minnesota preparation

It’s hard to believe after the memorable experience everyone had on Sunday during the Jets game, but the Patriots play again in just two days.

Patriots: Our first look at the New York Jets

November 19, 2022

By Mason Sousa, NEFJ Correspondent   The big question is are the Jets a different team from when they last met the Patriots three weeks ago? Is Zach Wilson all of a sudden a competent Quarterback after he beat the Bills? I believe both of those answers are a resounding… no.
