Chris Jones blocked a 58-yard field attempt from Nick Folk as time expired, to lead the New England Patriots past the New York Jets 27-25 Thursday night. There is some controversy surrounding this play, as a Patriot was lined up illegally, but instead of getting flagged, the official moved him to a legal spot. Folk's career long field goal is from 56 yards, but he was 13/13 so far this year, so they gave it try. The Jets are sitting in the basement of the AFC East division, falling to 1-6 on the year with their 6th straight loss. Meanwhile, the Patriots sit at the top of the division, now 5-2 on the year with their 3rd straight win.
Pats' QB Tom Brady threw 3 touchdown passes on the game, finding Shane Vereen twice and Danny Amendola once. Brady ended the game 20 for 37 for 261 yards. Stephen Gostkowski nailed 2 field goals on the night, from 39 and 36 yards. Folk on the other hand was 4/4 on the night before the miss as time expired. He hit from 22, 47, 46, and 27 yards in the first 4 Jet drives, in which they got inside the New England 30 all 4 times.
Chris Ivory ran in for the Jets first touchdown in the 3rd from just 1 yard out. Ivory ended the game with 107 yards rushing, and the Jets out-ran the Pats 218-63. QB Geno Smith finished the game 20 for 34 for 226 yards, coming in to the game last in the NFL in passer rating.
With the win, Tom Brady recorded his 41st consecutive regular-season home victory against an AFC opponent. The Patriots take their first place record in to a home game against the Chicago Bears in week 8. The Jets will look to snap their 6-game losing streak back home in a division game against the Buffalo Bills.
