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. On the flip side will the Patriots defense continue to be rock solid after the bye week? Will Mac…

By Tony Catalina, NEFJ Correspondent Kickoff: Coming off the heels of a tough loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, the Patriots are going to want to get that bad taste out of their mouth as they head to East Rutherford, NJ to take on their division rival New York Jets. All indications are that Mac Jones looks to be penciled in as the starter, but much like…
When you watch the New York Jets on film, you can’t help but think that they don’t do enough on defense. The reality is, they don’t do a lot defensively. Head Coach Robert Saleh and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich come from the Pete Carroll school of defense. It is all about eight man boxes and the defensive line getting pressure on the quarterback. The Jets will never be in the…
By Mason Sousa Wow. It can’t get more embarrassing than that. I was dead wrong in my preview of the Bears last week. I even feel like I should apologize for giving the Bears absolutely no shot to beat the Patriots never mind embarrass them on national television. Be that as it may, the Patriots are heading into Week 8 at 3-4 and looking up at the rest of the AFC East….

The additions of Hunter Henry, Jonnu Smith, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne and Mac Jones meant the Patriots finally had a skill group that would allow them to play they want. For six games, this group struggled…
The Patriots were supposed to beat the Jets today and they did, in convincing fashion. The Patriots 54-13 win was New England’s 12th straight against the hapless Jets. Beating the Jets around here is akin to getting a nor’easter in the winter. It’s expected. However just because it is an expectation, doesn’t mean that a win against the Jets isn’t a big deal. It is a big deal. It is…
The Jets have a new head coach. What else is new? Every three years the Jets seem to start over again. The only difference now is, they hope that finally found the right coach in Robert Saleh and they hope they found their franchise quarterback in Zach Wilson. So, what do we need to know about these Jets? Here’s a look at the Jets and what you need to know…
The Patriots are 2-4 on the season and in desperate need of a win. One of their two wins this season came in week two when they beat the New York Jets 25-6 at MetLife Stadium. One month later and the two teams meet again. Both teams dwindling playoff chances are on the line in what can only be described as a must win. The story of the first meeting…
Image courtesy of AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) The Patriots beat the New York Jets 25-6 at MetLife Stadium for their 12th straight win over the beleaguered franchise. The defense was the story as they picked off rookie quarterback Zach Wilson four times and sacked him four times. Wilson was awful in his home debut and his poor decision making directly led to 16 Patriots points. The Jets only had three…
