Two AFC East teams looking to turn around their early season misfortunes will square off in Week 3 when the New England Patriots (0-2) visit the New York Jets (1-1).
It's been a beginning of the year to forget in New England, as the Patriots dropped their first two games − both at home − in one-score affairs. In the "Sunday Night Football" loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Patriots running game struggled as the offense remained unreliable, leaving Bill Belichick at 0-2 for the first time since 2001.
After a triumphant win despite the loss of Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, the Jets misery continued as the offense sputtered against a dominant Dallas Cowboys defense. Back under center, Zach Wilson threw three picks, was sacked three times and the offense was 1-for-10 on third down. With only two offensive touchdowns in two games, New York will face another stern test from a solid Patriots defense.
