Overview
- Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium with exclusive streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
- The 8-2 Patriots carry a seven-game win streak, with Drake Maye tied atop MVP odds and rookies sparking multiple long touchdowns in last week’s win.
- The Jets are 2-7 but have won two straight, powered by elite special teams that produced both a kickoff and punt-return touchdown in Week 10 and a four-sack game from Will McDonald IV.
- New York dealt Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams at the deadline and is expected to be without Garrett Wilson for multiple weeks with a knee injury, per ESPN.
- Sportsbooks list New England at -12.5, and a SportsLine model says a loss would dent the Patriots’ path to the AFC’s No. 1 seed, though Mike Vrabel and Maye stressed not overlooking New York.
