NY Jets start the second half down by 32 points against the New England Patriots, can the Jets come back?
No surprise but the Jets can not do a l,ot with their first drive of the half and they punt. True to form the Patriots are moving down field well. A quarterback sneak gives them a first down justr after mid field.
On the next play during a run by Julian Edelman the Jets are able to force a fumble and recover the football. This could be a play that helps energize the NY bench a bit although they honestly need more than a little energizing, they need to run 5 solid scoring drives and force not less than 4 more turnovers.
Another play fumbled by NY but luckily for the Jets they recover and retain possession of the ball. Then a pass play into the end zone that is ruled incomplete looked to be a possible reception so the Jets challenge the play.
A penalty against the Patriots while backed up into their own end zone and it takes the score to 5 Jets to 35 Patriots. The Jets are successful on their drive for the 6 points and with the extra point it takes the score to 12 to 35.
Even though they are down by 23 points the Jets defense have had a number of series where they make some really good plays and cover up the receivers well and stop the run, they have not been able to string enough of those defensive plays together and the Patriots certainly has an offense that is having a superior game tonight against the Jets.
As the quarter ends the score is still 35 to 12 with the Patriots in the lead and control of the ball.
Tom Brady and company drive their way down field and get a first down on the 4. They get the touchdown and take the score to 42 to 12 and have a solid 30 point lead with 12 minutes left in the game.
Another series that goes nowhere for the Jets and then another series and touchdown by the Patriots. The score is now at 49 to 12 with New England with the lead. The Jets score and take the score to 19 New York to 49 New England.
The final score New England Patriots 49 to New York Jets 19.
