This Sunday’s game is on track to set a new single-game record. The New England Patriots will host the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. Bill Belichick’s team has yet to win a game this season, falling to 0-2. In Aaron Rodgers’ absence, the Jets have won both games.

With Rodgers out for the season, the Jets seem to have gone back to their 2022 ways of playing. Zach Wilson, who is serving as A-Rod’s backup quarterback, has come under heavy fire for his play in both the games. New York has also released its official injury report, indicating that the team is facing more setbacks in these turbulent times.

The New York Jets, who are undefeated thus far this season with a 2-0 record, are getting ready for a tough opponent. They are going to face the Patriots, an AFC rival they have frequently fallen to. It’s crucial to remember that the Jets’ most recent triumph over New England was on December 27, 2015, when they won 26-20 in a thrilling overtime game. Since then, the Patriots have defeated them eight seasons in a row and straight 14 games.

In their most recent matchup, New England defeated the Jets by a score of 10-3. The decisive moment of the game was Marcus Jones’ game-winning punt return in the closing seconds, which secured a victory for the Patriots. They hope to stop this eight-year losing streak as they get ready for the next Sunday afternoon competition. However, Jets coach Robert Saleh is still upbeat about their chances on their home turf because he thinks the team has changed and that the losing streak is the past.
