Heroes, zeros and rushing from the Jets' 24-10 win over the Patriots on Thursday Night Football:
hero
Aaron Rodgers.
The Jets quarterback completed 27 of 35 passes for 281 yards, two touchdowns, no turnovers and a rating of 118.9.
He hit a ton of short- and mid-range passes, keeping the passing chain moving as the Jets' offense overwhelmed the Patriots' defense.
Unknown Hero
Tyler Conklin.
The Jets tight end had two catches for 16 yards before the game and finished with five catches for 93 yards in the game.
He was a key outlet for Rodgers in tough situations throughout the game, catching a pass for 22 yards on second down and 17 on the second TD drive and another for 22 yards on third down and 9 late in the first half.
Then, on the Jets' first scoring drive of the third quarter, he kept the drive going with an 18-yard catch on third down and three.
zero
Jacoby Brissett.
The Patriots' replacement quarterback completed 12 of 18 passes for 98 yards but was sacked five times for a loss of 46 yards.
Brissett couldn't do much for New England all night.
Key Stats
10/15: That was the Jets' third-down stats for the game, an efficiency unheard of for offenses with different quarterbacks over the past few years.
