Aaron Rodgers earned his first (full-game) victory in the Jets’ 24-17 Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans, and he’ll hope to lead Gang Green to a second straight win in the Meadowlands on Thursday against the division rival Patriots. The Jets earned their first win of the season after a Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The Patriots moved to 1-1 the other way around, winning a Week 1 game against the Bengals before losing in overtime to the Seahawks in Week 2.
Rodgers and the Jets’ passing attack may have to do the heavy lifting against the Patriots. New England ranks second in the league in run defense after two weeks, allowing under 60 yards per game, while the Jets enter Week 3 26th in the league in rushing despite a backfield led by Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. The Patriots will look to keep the ball on the ground on offense — they rank fifth in the NFL with 177.5 rushing yards per game, allowed by Rhamondre Stevenson, who is averaging just over 100 yards per game.
