As halftime arrives in this AFC East showdown, the New York Jets hold a 14-3 lead over the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Jets struck first when Aaron Rodgers connected with wide receiver Allen Lazard, a familiar face from their Green Bay days, for Rodgers\u2019 first-ever touchdown pass at MetLife Stadium. It’s also a notable moment for New York, marking the first time this season they\u2019ve jumped ahead early, after sluggish starts in their previous two games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New York\u2019s defense has been rock-solid, limiting the Patriots to just three points and a mere 40 total net yards in the opening half. The Patriots’ offense has yet to visit the red zone, with quarterback Jacoby Brissett going 7 for 10 for just 36 yards, while enduring three sacks for a loss of 25 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Jets\u2019 second score came on a 1-yard punch-in from Breece Hall, capping a commanding 91-yard drive. Rodgers, having a much stronger outing, went 15 of 20 for 170 yards in the first half\u2014already surpassing his Week 1 yardage and nearing his Week 2 total. The Jets wrapped up their final drive with Greg Zuerlein missing a 45-yard field goal attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For New England, their defense is missing key players, with Ja’Whaun Bentley already out and Jabrill Peppers questionable to return after an ankle injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
