Patriots

“This has form of been like this for 3 weeks in a row for us,” Belichick stated afterward. “Good to return out on the nice finish of it.”

The Patriots beat the Jets for the fifteenth time in a row in Sunday’s 15-10 win — and averted an 0-3 begin to the season within the course of — however Invoice Belichick was (unsurprisingly) not getting carried away with the end result.

“Good win for us immediately,” he stated after the sport. “Down right here it’s all the time robust. Jets are a tricky workforce. They do a superb job.”

One main distinction for the Patriots in Week 3 vs. the 2 defeats was a extra profitable operating sport. New England rushed for 157 yards as a workforce, which contrasted particularly nicely with the 38 rush yards by the Jets.

“Had a superb operating sport. I believed we performed fairly good run protection in opposition to them, and we have been in a position to run the ball higher than we have now the primary couple of weeks,” stated Belichick.

Regardless of the obvious benefit his protection had over Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, Belichick referenced the still-thin margins that determined the end result.

“Ultimately, some keys performs within the fourth quarter, happily we have been in a position to make a pair greater than they have been,” he defined.

For the third week in a row, the sport got here down to some performs within the fourth quarter. However in contrast to the primary two video games, it was the Patriots who emerged victorious.

“This has form of been like this for 3 weeks in a row for us,” Belichick added. “Good to return out on the nice finish of it.”

The defining play from an in any other case lackluster Patriots offense got here from an unlikely supply.

Third string tight finish Pharaoh Brown caught a 58-yard landing within the second quarter, which ended up being the distinction within the sport alongside a pair of Chad Ryland subject targets and a late defensive security on Wilson.

“Pharaoh’s accomplished a superb job,” Belichick stated of Brown. “Got here in right here in our first week and performed within the opener, performed each week, good to have a man who can do what he does. He’s received some measurement, he can block, catch the ball slightly bit. He’s a superb complement to Mike [Gesicki] and Hunter [Henry].”

The 1-2 Patriots now put together to face the Cowboys in Week 4 in Dallas.
