Former Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer shares his keys to a New England win over the Jets in Week 8.
The New England Patriots enter Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season with a 1-6 record at the bottom of the NFL standings.
Next up on the Patriots' schedule is a matchup with the rival New York Jets at Gillette Stadium. These teams last met in Week 3at MetLife Stadium. The game was never close. But since then, the Jets have lost four straight games, including an ugly 37-15 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. The Jets offense, led by veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, hasn't scored more than 20 points in a game since beating the Patriots.
The Patriots rushing attack did OK against the Jets in Week 3, averaging 5.2 yards per carry . The problem was they quickly fell behind 14-3 by halftime and couldn't stick with the ground game.The Patriots offense is not staying on the field long enough, which is putting a lot of pressure on the defense to play a lot of minutes and potentially get tired late in the game.
"Convert some of those third downs and keep yourself on the field," Hoyer said."That will allow you to have opportunities to score more points."
