"That's Life"

The Jets climbed to 2-2 on the year after a victory against their rivals in New England. New England took the first game of the season, but the Jets bounced back and rookie Brett Favre minimized his turnovers. 

"Last time they got me to make multiple mistakes. Game plan this week was to avoid negative plays and let the defense go to work."

The Jets D did just that, forcing 5 takeaways. Marcus Maye and Brian Poole contributed pick sixes, one being right at the end of the first half. Maye also forced two fumbles which the Jets were able to recover. Karl Joseph also added an interception late in the game to shut down the Patriots. Jaquizski Tartt's presence seemingly wasn't missed as he was sent to San Fransisco along with Jamison Crowder and a fourth rounder for the Niners' first round pick this year.

Offensively, the Jets committed more to the run. Matt Breida ran for 154 yards and a touchdown on a 77 yard scamper. Kenny Golladay continued his impressive season, adding 71 yards and a touchdown as well. The offense didn't seem as explosive as the week before. Only time will tell if Perriman's departure to the Jaguars was the right move, along with Crowder's move to San Fransisco as part of the Tartt deal.

One interesting interaction, or lack thereof, came at the end of the game. The Patriots coach opting to not go to midfield to shake hands with Coach Sinatra. Sinatra was asked about the moment.

"I say that's life, and as funny as it may seem, some people get their kicks stomping on a dream. But I don't let it, let it get me down. Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around."

The Jets look forward to a matchup against the Cleveland Browns as they go for a three game winning streak.
