"If the Patriots need a get-right game after how the last two weeks went, Sunday presents a perfect opportunity to do that. The Patriots take on the 3-12 Jets in East Rutherford on Sunday. Not only are the 12-3 Patriots 13.5-point favorites to win this game, but they also easily dispatched the Jets earlier in the season. They took down New York, 27-14, in a pretty decisive Thursday night victory."
"If you thought the Patriots' injury report for this week was brutal, you might get some eyerolls from Jets fans. Two starters were ruled out (tight end Mason Taylor, edge rusher Will McDonald) on Friday, while a handful of other starters are on injured reserve. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson and guard Alijah Vera-Tucker headline the group of 18 players on injured reserve."
"Justin Fields was among the latest group of Jets players to be placed on injured reserve this week. However, the quarterback lost his starting job following the Jets' Week 11 loss to the Patriots and hasn't played since. Still, the injuries like the ones Fields has suffered have paved the way for the Jets to play some pretty inexperienced players across their roster. Second-year undrafted free agent Isaiah Williams has seen a lot more playing time at wide receiver, for instance."
The Patriots enter Sunday's game 12-3 and are 13.5-point favorites against the 3-12 Jets in East Rutherford. New England previously beat New York 27-14 earlier in the season. The Jets have gone 1-4 since that meeting and have made multiple depth-chart and coaching changes. Injuries have decimated the Jets, with 18 players on injured reserve including wide receiver Garrett Wilson and guard Alijah Vera-Tucker; two starters (Mason Taylor, Will McDonald) were ruled out Friday. Justin Fields was placed on injured reserve after losing the starting job following Week 11. Inexperienced players such as Isaiah Williams have seen increased playing time.
