This is a big test for Todd Bowles and the New York Jets this week. Their defense has been one of the best of the NFL but they have not had to face an offense with the efficiency and precision of the New England Patriots.
On offense, the Jets are have improved by adding playmaker Brandon Marshall to the offense, but other than Chris Ivory they still lack the weapons to keep up with the Patriots. The underrated New England defense taking away either one from the Jets offense could be crippling.
Look for New England to weather an early push from New York and then start piling up three-and-outs on defense and chipping away and wearing down the Jets defense. By the end of the game, the Jets may score a garbage time touchdown to make the score look closer than it appears as New England rolls onto a 6-0 record.
