New England Patriots: Winners and losers Week 6 vs New York Jets
Who were the winners and losers from the New England Patriots victory over the New York Jets in Week 6?
The New England Patriots played another hard-fought game in Week 6, this time against the New York Jets. The Jets have been competitive against the Patriots in games at the Meadowlands, and this weekend’s game was no different.
New York came out ready to play, as they looked to add some legitimacy to their start to the season. The Jets roared out to a 14-0 lead, so the Patriots had to show some adversity to get the victory. After that, New England dominated.
The Patriots were able to escape from MetLife Stadium with a 24-17 victory. They should consider themselves lucky, as the referees handed them a gift on what looked like an Austin Seferian-Jenkins touchdown in the fourth quarter, which would have put a lot of pressure on New England.
