The New England Patriots (13-3) dominated the New York Jets (3-13) today with QB Drake Maye completing four touchdowns in the first half alone Maye completed his first 11 passes for 159 yards and didn't throw an incompletion until there was 1:44 left in the second quarter and he already had three touchdowns.
The Patriots won, 42-10.
Maye didn't even play the fourth quarter but still finished the day with 19-of-21 passing for 256 yards, a total of five TDs, no interceptions, and 22 yards rushing. TreVeyon Henderson had 82 yards rushing, Rhamondre Stevenson had 47, and Stefon Diggs had 101 yards on six receptions, including one phenomenal catch that kept Maye's opening streak alive.
The Pats will play their last game of the regular season next weekend at home against the Miami Dolphins (7-9). A Patriots win and/or a Bills loss today or next week would clinch the AFC East for New England. A Pats win and a Denver Broncos loss next week would clinch the AFC conference title for New England. The Broncos hold the tiebreaker over the Patriots due to a better record against a common opponent, the Raiders. New England lost to the Raiders in Week 1, while Denver beat them twice.
And to think, we were in last place this time last year and now we're figuring ways we might clinch the conference..
