The New England Patriots are preparing for what will be their last prime-time match of the 2024 season.

The New England Patriots will play the division-rival New York Jets on Thursday night, so they won’t have much time to reflect on their Week 2 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The week is short.

The Patriots were about to get to 2-0 on Sunday when things went south in the last seconds. With a 20–17 lead, they might have iced the game by utilising the remaining time. The game went into overtime, though, after a blocked field goal and a Seattle kick. The Patriots promptly punted, and the Seahawks then drove for the game-winning kick.

Regarding the Jets, in Week 2, Aaron Rodgers secured his first victory for Gang Green. Even if they didn’t play flawlessly, New York was still able to overcome the Tennessee Titans 24–17 in Nashville. Week 3 is an important game to decide each team’s future path, as both are now 1-1.
