The Patriots have beaten the Jets 14 straight times. But it's a toss-up as to which team is more desperate to win their matchup on Sunday.
24-17. Neither loss was ugly. New England stayed in it. But the Patriots offense has yet to actually win them a game despite the defense generating ample opportunities for the team to pull off an underdog victory.
Belichick has, for years, prided his team on discipline, avoiding turnovers and penalties. While New England is doing OK with penalties, it is struggling with turnovers. The Patriots are tied for third in the NFL with four turnovers: two interceptions and two fumbles. That's not going to cut it for a team that wants to win with a methodical offense. It has felt like those turnvoers have killed the momentum of the team's best drives.
It doesn't even take a turnover to derail this offense. A sack will do it, because the Patriots can't convert third-and-long. They have converted just three of 16 situations to first downs in third-and-7 or longer. It's not a winning spot for them. Both teams already face long odds to make the playoffs, but it's not just their playoff odds going from long to longer. It's also the question of job security for the coaches. Saleh and Belichick are likely in secure positions for 2023 and 2024. Saleh has Rodgers coming back next year. Belichick is Belichick. But if these teams really begin to underperform — because the Jets were supposed to win a Super Bowl and the Patriots always expect to win a Super Bowl — then their seats get hot.
