Rating Thursday's Jets-Patriots game, a 24-3 win:
attack
The Jets gained 400 yards and didn't have a single three-and-out all night.
With Aaron Rodgers at the helm and an offense equipped with a plethora of weapons, this is what we expected.
Rodgers (27-of-35 for 281 yards, two touchdowns, 118.9 QB rating) expertly sliced up the Patriots defense.
He was quick with the ball and distributed it all around all night.
The offensive line was strong again, and Rodgers was only sacked twice.
The running back duo of Breece Hall (16 rushes, 54 yards, 1 TD) and Braylon Allen (11 rushes, 55 yards) were impressive for the second week in a row.
Rating: A-

Coaching
Playing three games in 11 days was a tough assignment for the Jets, but they likely expected to go 2-1 when the schedule was released.
Kudos to Robert Saleh and his staff for navigating the first three games so well.
Jeff Ulbrich led a great game blocking the Patriots defense.
He was more aggressive than usual and did everything he could to stop the run.
Nathaniel Hackett set the tempo early for the Jets, with the offense scoring on two of their first three attempts.
Rating: B
