The Patriots are 3-2 in those games, including a 3-0 record at Gillette Stadium with wins in 2017, 2018 and 2020). The Patriots defeated the Jets in the first 2023 meeting with a 15-10 win at MetLife Stadium on Set. 24. The Patriots have won 15 straight games against the Jets and will look to sweep the series for the 8th straight season.

The Patriots beat the Jets, 15-10, in the first meeting of the season on Sept. 24 at MetLife Stadium. This week's game will mark the sixth time the Patriots and Jets will meet in the regular season-finale (1966, 1998, 2017, 2018 and 2020). The Patriots are 3-2 in those games with all three wins coming in home contests in 2017, 2018 and 2020.

The Patriots enter this week with 15 straight wins over the Jets, including series sweeps in each of the last seven seasons. The Patriots 15 straight wins are tied for the longest winning streak over an opponent with Buffalo (2003-10), and the seven straight series sweeps are the most in team history.

Overall, the Patriots have 23 series sweeps over the Jets with 14 under Bill Belichick and 16 under Robert Kraft.

New England leads the series, 74-54-1 overall. The Patriots are 39-25-1 all-time in home games against the Jets, including 19-4 at Gillette Stadium.
The teams have played in the postseason three times – a 1985 Wild Card game, a 2006 Wild Card game and an AFC Divisional game in 2010. New England beat the Jets, 26-14, in 1985 at the Meadowlands en route to Super Bowl XX. In 2006, the Patriots defeated the Jets, 37-16, at Gillette Stadium and the Jets beat the Patriots, 28-21, in the 2010 Divisional playoff game in Foxborough.

New England is 45-16 against the Jets since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994.

WBZ-TV Channel 4 was blindsided by the last-minute move to FOX and there is concern CBS intends to make deep cuts to Channel 4 sports.

CBS wound up with the Eagles/NYFG game making the FOX stations in NYC and Philly very unhappy.

5:30 AM in the weather is miserable in Foxborough

Has the Rappaport puff piece from the Belichick side dropped yet?

Call me soft but I just can't root against the team as I watch the game. Not against the Jets. Provide Belichick one final moment beating the Jets in what should be his final game coaching this team. Hire the right people and I don't care where the draft pick lands. You can always trade up if you identify the QB you simply can't go without.

Agreed on historic day and we should all be torn between wanting the W or the better pick as despite these past few years, Bill's last game losing to the Jets would actually suck for a bunch of reasons for those that knew what it was like to be a fan 25+ years ago. Tough to decide given the decades of winning this franchise has offered the fans.

The only sure-fire can’t-miss top-five prospect I see in this draft is Marvin Harrison. There’s no HOF QB like a Manning or an Elway coming out this year. The QBs are good - not great.

F***ing annihilate the Jets today and close this chapter with 60-point win.

The future can wait until tomorrow.

For what it's worth, I saw Breer on NBCSN state that most execs around the league view Caleb Williams and Drake Maye as the 2nd and 3rd-best QB prospects to enter the league since the 2020 draft, behind only Trevor Lawrence.

This sucks.

There’s nothing fun about today.

I have such bittersweet feelings. I’ll probably be crying through most of the game.

They still wear the Patriots’ colors and logo, but they haven’t felt like the Patriots in a long time.

You're right that they could just trade up but this team needs as many picks as they can get to use on drafting offense. The Panthers gave up a haul to move up #1 and are going to be stuck sucking for a couple of seasons because they have no way of surrounding their young qb with the talent he needs unless they nail most of their middle and late round picks.


I rarely root for them to lose and i want Belichick to go out with a win against the Jets as well but the best thing for this teams future is to lose today and at least lock yourself into #3 and either get one of the two qbs or the best wr prospect in years.
