Game Recap: NEW YORK-New England headed to New York. Caedan Wallace, the New England Patriots 2024 third round pick made his first career NFL start at left tackle. Find out who won this AFC East game on Thursday Night football.

Jacoby Brissett threw a pass into coverage. He was slow to get up after the completion.

Jacoby Brissett threw a completion to Ja'Lynn Polk. Caedan Wallace did a good job protecting Jacoby Brissett's blindside on some throws. New York caused New England to lose a lot of yards as New England punted on fourth and twenty six.
Aaron Rodgers improved to 5/5 when throwing on the run. He was 6/6 completing passes on the run after getting a third down conversion. New England Patriots 3-4 left outside linebacker Josh Uche lined up at 3-4 right outside linebacker and got by New York Jets left tackle Tyron Smith to sack Aaron Rodgers. New York Jets right tackle Morgan Moses got injured. New York led 21-3 after three quarters of play.

New York Jets 4-3 defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw sacked Jacoby Brissett on third down. New England punted it back to New York.
Drake Maye came into the game. The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft showed some promise. Drake Maye got sacked, but he did well in limited action. Drake Maye gives the New England Patriots a better chance to win than Jacoby Brissett, but New England's offensive line is going through a lot despite Caedan Wallace showing promise at left tackle. New York won 24-3.
The New York Jets offensive line gets an honorable mention on offense. New York's offensive line helped Aaron Rodgers dominate in the passing game while also helping the New York Jets running backs get 123 rushing yards. New York Jets left tackle Tyron Smith, New York Jets left guard John Simpson, New York Jets center Joe Tippman, New York Jets right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker, and New York Jets right tackle Morgan Moses all did well. Morgan Moses did get injured near the end of this game, but New York Jets 2024 first round pick Olumuyiwa Fashanu came in for a few plays at right tackle once Morgan Moses got injured.
New York Jets 4-3 right end Will McDonald IV the New York Jets 2023 first round pick gets the honorable mention on defense. After coming in for an injured Jermaine Johnson II having 3 sacks against the Tennesee Titans in week 2, he had 2 sacks against the New England Patriots in week 3.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was my player of the game. Aaron Rodgers went 27/35 with 281 passing yards, 18 rushing yards, 299 total yards, 2 passing touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Aaron Rogders also finished this game 6/6 when throwing on the run, so even though he didn't reach 300 total yards falling short of that mark by a freaking yard he looked good. Aaron Rodgers was making plays he made in his twenties when he was still in his prime in this game. That's the biggest reason the New York Jets won, and if that continues the New York Jets will be a threat to win games moving forward.

Deshaun Watson got sacked on third down on the final pla of the first quarter. This game was tied 7-7 after one quarter of play.
Daniel Jones threw a completion to Malik Nabers. Nabers did a phenomenal job fighting for the football on a pass Daniel Jones underthrew that should have been intercepted by Martin Emerson Jr. You cannot fault Cleveland Browns boundary cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. Just a phenomenal job by the New York Giants flanker wide receiver on that play. This game went to the two minute warning.

Deshaun Watson threw another touchdown to Amari Cooper. Cleveland went for a two point conversion and got it. New York led 21-15.
Cleveland Browns 4-3 right end Myles Garrett went down with an injury after Daniel Jones scrambled for a first down. That would be a massive loss for a Cleveland Browns team that is already crippled by injuries. Even with the Cleveland Browns current depth at defensive end, I cannot see the Browns making the playoffs without Myles Garrett.
The bad news is the Cleveland Browns had a turnover after blowing an opportunity to gain the lead. The good news is Myles Garrett was cleared to return to the game after getting dinged up. Myles Garrett's foot injury will require an MRI.
Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. left this game with an injury and did not return. Cleveland Browns backup left tackle James Hudson and Cleveland Browns right guard Wyatt Teller also left this game with injuries and did not return. Jameis Winston came in, but New York Giants 3-4 right outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux tackled him.

Both quarterbacks avoided interceptions. Daniel Jones had more passing yards than Deshaun Watson with Daniel Jones going 24/34 with 236 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, and 0 interceptions while Deshaun Watson went 21/37 with 196 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Watson fumbled the football twice and the New York Giants recovered the fumble on both times. This was the difference in a close ball game. I was going to give a wide receiver Malik Nabers or Amari Cooper player of the game regardless of who won since both wide receivers had 2 receiving touchdowns. With the New York Giants winning, Malik Nabers wins player of the game.
New York Giants 3-4 nose tackle Dexter Lawrence gets an honorable mention, the first of three honorable mentions on defense. Dexter Lawrence had 2 solo tackles, 1 assisted tackle, 3 total tackles, 8 pressures, 4 quarterback hurries, 4 quarterback hits, 2 sacks, 1 tackle for a loss, and a team best 89.6 overall grade on Pro Football Focus in week 3 against the Cleveland Browns.

That's the best start by an NFL defense in the past twenty years. Pittsburgh won 20-10.
Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins ranks third in the NFL with 310 rushing yards despite the loss. J.K. Dobbins will be tested now more than ever if Justin Herbert misses any extensive time.
Pittsburgh Steelers center Zach Frazier was my player of the game. Zach Frazier the Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 second round pick out of West Virginia stepped up after Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 first round pick Troy Fautanu went on injured resrve at right tackle.
