Overview
- New England beat the New York Jets 26-19 on Sunday with an offensive line that gave up zero sacks, letting quarterback Drake Maye operate cleanly in the pocket.
- Starters Morgan Moses, Alijah Vera-Tucker, and Ben Brown exited the game with ankle, hamstring, and knee injuries respectively, forcing multiple in-game lineup changes.
- Backups including Will Campbell and rookie Caleb Lomu stepped into starting roles and limited rushers, with Pro Football Focus crediting Campbell with one pressure on 35 pass-blocking snaps and Lomu with zero pressures on 30 snaps.
- With three reserves on the line late, the Patriots ran a 13-play, 56-yard drive that drained the clock and ended in an Andy Borregales field goal to seal the win.
- Coach Mike Vrabel praised the backups but warned the short week makes recovery uncertain, and Maye credited his wife Ann Michael's baked treats for boosting locker-room morale.
