At the beginning of their existence, the Jets and Patriots were members of the newly formed American Football League. Since that 1960 berth, they have shared the same division. Now, they will renew their ancient rivalry on Thursday night. Both teams have split their first two games with the NFL odds. Of course, the Patriots are in their first season without Bill Belichick. At the same time, the Jets have Aaron Rodgers back under center. New York lost Rodgers last season after backing up the truck.

Jason Myers hit a 31-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Seattle Seahawks to a 23-20 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. The game-winner capped a three-for-three day for Myers. Previously, he ensured the game went into OT with a 38-yard field goal with less than a minute left in regulation. Myers also hit from 44 yards in the second quarter. Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith led Seattle on an eight-play, 71-yard drive to the New England 13 to set up the winning score. In sum, Smith was 33 of 44 for 327 yards on the day, with a 56-yard touchdown to DK Metcalf in the first half. Also, Metcalf finished with 10 catches for 129 yards.
The Seahawks (2-0) also got a 100-yard receiving game from Jaxon Smith-Njigba (12 catches for 117 yards). New England (1-1) won the coin toss heading into overtime. But they went three-and-out, with Rhamondre Stevenson getting stopped on third and 1.
Playing in their home opener under first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, the Patriots got 81 rushing yards and one touchdown from Stevenson. Also, they got 96 rushing yards from Antonio Gibson. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett was 15-for-27 for 149 yards and one touchdown to rookie Ja’Lynn Polk.
New York Jets Team Overview
Last game, the New York Jets won 24-17 against the Tennessee Titans as 4-point road dogs. The game went to a push with a total of 41. New York has a record of 1-1 straight up, 1-1 against the spread, and 1-0-1 over/under the total. New York ranks 26th for total offense, 21st for passing, 26th for rushing, and 15th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 24th overall, 17th against the pass, 25th against the rush, and 26th for points allowed. Also, New York ranks 17th for fewest turnovers lost and 20th for takeaways.
Aaron Rodgers wants to emphasize that he technically now has two victories as the New York Jets quarterback. Namely, Braelon Allen, the NFL’s youngest player, ran for a 20-yard touchdown with 4:31 left to put Rodgers and the New York Jets ahead to stay. New York beat the Tennessee Titans 24-17 on Sunday.
Overall, Rodgers threw for 176 yards and two TDs. Most important of all he got to kneel for his first victory that he started and finished as the Jets’ starting quarterback. Last year, he tore his left Achilles tendon on his fourth snap of the Jets’ 2023 season opener, which was a win over Buffalo. One of Rodgers’ TD passes was to the 20-year-old Allen, marking a score by the NFL’s oldest and youngest players. The fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin said playing with Breece Hall takes some of the focus off him. Also, he credited tight end Jeremy Ruckert for the sealing block on his game-winning TD run.
