The Jets were able to destroy the New England Patriots in their most recent face-off, but at what cost? We all witnessed how their offensive tackle, Morgan Moses, got injured in the game. It happened when Moses attempted to cover Aaron Rodgers at a critical juncture in the game. At the moment, Joshua Uche attempted to tackle A-Rod, he not only failed but also crushed the leg of the Jets’ offensive lineman.
Morgan Moses’ injury did not look to be serious at that time, as he walked off the field on his own. Even in the post-game interview, head coach Robert Saleh stated that the injury is not something to be concerned about. Everything appeared to be good until a recent new update on the offensive tackle’s leg, which may irritate Jets fans. The injury appears to be more serious right now, and the medical team has requested an MRI of the knee after the most recent diagnosis. However, it was also said that it may not be a long-term injury and can recover quickly.
Rich Cimini gave us all this update on X, stating, “Morgan Moses (knee) will have an MRI today, but Saleh says this morning they feel ‘decent’ about his prognosis. They don’t feel it’s season-ending but said he’s waiting for the results. #Jets” The good news is that the offensive lineman will return to action this season, which will be a great assist to the Jets. Till week 3, the fans were expecting Aaron Rodgers to return to form, and now that he has, all eyes are on Moses’ return.

This injury indeed was a setback for the Jets but their win is more of an achievement. Do you want to know why? Let’s take a look at some of the game’s crucial numbers.
Other than Morgan Moses’ injury, the day was quite fortuitous for the Jets
Woah! What an incredible performance from the team of New York. If you didn’t see the game you are gonna regret it. The Jets were underdogs heading into the game, but they proved everyone wrong. Aaron Rodgers’ two TDs and the team’s excellent defense indicate that this is only the beginning for the Jets. For quite some time this season, the Patriots’ defense has been the focus of much appreciation. Everyone thought the Jets would struggle to get past a defense that had been so dominant. But the team succeeded, despite the fact that offensive tackle Morgan Moses would be out for the time being.
The New Yorkers held the ball for the majority of the game and were quite adept at controlling it. In the combine, the entire squad ran 400 yards, but the New England Patriots only ran 139. Aside from that, in passing yards, the Jets (267 yards) were much ahead of the Patriots (61 yards). It was an excellent game, and it will raise the Jets’ confidence significantly in the coming weeks of the season.
