Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes in a superb homecoming performance,

• Соединённые Штаты Америки (США) » Административные единицы США » Административное деление США » Нью-Джерси » Нью-Йорк’s opener. The
40-year-old quarterback showed no signs of the injury – or playing in his
third game in 11 days – while scrambling several times and making off-balance
throws all night, slicing through New England’s defence with surgical
precision.
Rodgers finished 27 of 35 for 281 yards with TD tosses to Garrett Wilson and
Allen Lazard and heard chants of “Aa-ron! Rod-gers!” throughout as the Jets
(2-1) ended an eight-game home losing streak against the Patriots (1-2).

final game as the Patriots’ coach, sacked Jacoby Brissett five times. Drake
Maye, the No. 3 overall pick in April, made his NFL debut when he replaced
Brissett with 4:24 left in the game.
Breece Hall ran for a score for the Jets, who also snapped a six-game skid in
Thursday night games.

Rodgers jogged onto the field to a thunderous ovation. Soon after, he sent the
crowd into a frenzy again.
After the Jets’ first drive stalled, Rodgers marched them down the field –
with a little help by a mental mistake from the Patriots.
A first-down pass from Rodgers to Hall was stopped for no gain, but Jahlani
Tavai lifted the Jets running back and slammed him to the turf with a move
more suitable for the wrestling ring. The 15-yard penalty put the ball at New
England’s 31.
Four plays later, Rodgers threw a quick out to Lazard on his left. The
receiver made a move and Alex Austin reached out to try to stop him, but
instead got only a handful of Lazard’s undershirt that stretched like a rubber
band before Lazard broke away and zipped into the end zone for a 13-yard
touchdown.
Lazard immediately ran over to his quarterback and handed the football to
Rodgers, who threw his first touchdown pass at home for the Jets.
Rodgers and the Jets kept things going on their next possession, capping a
13-play, 91-yard drive with a 1-yard run by Hall that was reversed by video
review after it was originally ruled he was short of the goal-line.
Joey Slye’s 44-yard field goal cut the Patriots’ deficit to 14-3 with 3:56
left in the first half.
Greg Zuerlein was wide left on a 45-yarder shortly before halftime.

• Соединённые Штаты Америки (США) » Административные единицы США » Административное деление США » Нью-Джерси » Нью-Йорк made it 21-3 with 6:18 remaining in the third quarter when Rodgers
zipped a pass to his right and found Wilson, who toe-tapped in the front
corner of the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown.
It marked the third straight game the Jets had at least three touchdowns on
offence.
After Chuck Clark forced and recovered a fumble by Rhamondre Stevenson, the
Jets increased their lead on a 28-yard field goal by Zuerlein.
Lopsided
In the first half, the Jets outgained the Patriots 252 yards to 40 and had 17
first downs to New England’s four. It was the fewest first downs for the
Patriots in any half since 2000.
Injuries
Patriots: Austin (ankle) and OL Michael Jordan (knee) left in the fourth
quarter.
Jets: RT Morgan Moses injured a knee on the final play of the third quarter
and didn’t return. First-round pick Olu Fashanu replaced him.
