PATRIOTS 26 - JETS 6
Guess Todd Bowles really earned that contract extension as the Jets stunk it up with a listless effort against the defending Super Bowl champions to end the regular season.
Bowles, who was given a two-year extension on Friday, watched as Bryce Petty failed to move a bad offense and never once thought about putting Christian Hackenberg into the game. As it stands, the Jets learned nothing about the quarterback they drafted in the second round two years ago. Bowels decision to not play Hackenberg is a huge indictment of what the coaching staff thinks of the signal-caller.
As for Petty he was bad. Inaccurate, inconsistent and inaccurate (I just said that). You get the point. Outside of a nice 46-yard pass to ArDarious Stewart, Petty was Captain Checkdown for the Jets, as New York managed only 14 first downs and failed to convert a single third down, going 0-for-12. The Jets haven't been shutout on third down in a game since 1996, A.K.A. The Rich Kotite Era.
The Patriots didn't need to do much in this on Sunday. Tom Brady didn't have his best day, but still led the Pats on three first half touchdown drives to put the game out of reach at halftime by the score of 21-3.
The Patriots (13-3) clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs with the victory. As for the Jets, they limp into the off-season with more questions than answers after another 5-11 finish to the season. Bowles and GM Mike Maccagnan both received contract extensions, and the pressure will be on them to improve this team for next season. They need a quarterback and a lot of help. Get ready for more Jets misery in 2018 people.
