Trailing 27-17 entering the fourth quarter, the Patriots scored the game’s final 13 points to come away with a 30-27 road victory over the Jets on Monday night. Trailing 27-20 with six minutes left, J.C. Jackson’s interception of Joe Flacco set up Cam Newton’s second rushing touchdown of the game. The Patriots then forced a quick Jets punt before Newton’s 20-yard completion to Jakobi Myers set up Nick Folk’s game-winning 51-yard field goal as time expired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with his two rushing touchdowns, Newton threw for 274 yards while helping the Patriots improve to 3-5 on the season. Myers led all receivers with 169 yards, while running back Damien Harris rushed for a team-high 71 yards before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent injury. Flacco, starting in place of Sam Darnold, threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns that included two touchdown passes to Breshad Perriman. The Jets were unable to hold off New England’s late rally, however, and New York is 0-9 for the first time in franchise history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some immediate takeaways from Monday’s AFC East battle:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why the Patriots won<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’d be easy to chalk this up to the Jets being the Jets, because boy did New York all but beg New England to take this one despite a late 10-point lead. But let’s give credit where it’s due: Cam Newton looks physically spent half the time he’s ripping the ball, but he willed his team back into this, taking what the defense gave him, grinding out the short yards on the ground and making do with one of the least imposing receiving corps in the NFL. He also started very efficiently. Damien Harris and Rex Burkhead were both productive carrying the ball as well, fighting for hard yards all the way to the close. Jakobi Meyers certainly stepped up to lead the pass catchers, whereas J.C. Jackson deserves a tip of the cap for keeping his head up and capitalizing on a bad Joe Flacco ball in the fourth quarter, redeeming himself for countless coverage slip-ups with a game-altering turnover.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why the Jets lost<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It feels wrong to negatively spotlight Joe Flacco on a night where the grizzled fill-in somehow often looked like the best and calmest QB on the field (and Flacco was <\/em>good for long stretches, throwing some beauties to both Breshad Perriman and Jamison Crowder), but his fourth-quarter interception — a mindless heave into double coverage with New York nursing a one-score lead with under six minutes to play — all but ensured a New England comeback. Maybe Adam Gase deserves more of the blame there, for allowing such a risky play to be called in that situation. Either way, that — and poor blocking in the ensuing drives — marred three-plus quarters of surprising competence for Flacco, rookie Denzel Mims and Breshad Perriman, who torched the Pats all night. Defensively, Gregg Williams’ unit fared just fine but also saved its worst hiccups for crunch time, surrendering one too many big runs and leaving far too much space in the secondary on New England’s final drives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turning point<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Jets were up seven with just under six minutes to play in the game, on track to send the Patriots to 2-6 and hand their AFC East rivals a fifth straight loss. Then, inexplicably, Flacco aired out a bomb into double coverage, not only allowing J.C. Jackson to get sweet revenge for Perriman’s repeated downfield success but allowing the Patriots to tie things up and, ultimately, steal the victory. Whether it was just a poor decision or a poor play call, it was the biggest momentum shift of a night owned by New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Play of the game<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Newton made some good throws, and Jackson’s pick was of the utmost importance for the Pats. But Flacco honestly had the best throw of the night when he hit Crowder in the corner of the end zone to give the Jets a surprising (and, ultimately, fleeting) 20-10 lead, with the wideout capping the score with a picture-perfect toe tap:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Reaction To Cam Newton\u2019s Strong Performance In Patriots\u2019 Win”<\/strong><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
It was quite a bounce-back performance<\/a> from New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton.<\/strong><\/div>\n

The veteran signal-caller was in the midst of a rough stretch himself as the Patriots dropped four straight contests. Newton, though, put those struggles behind him to help lead the Patriots to a 30-27 comeback win<\/a> over the New York Jets on \u201cMonday Night Football.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And his performance \u2014 27-for-35, 274 yards passing; two rushing touchdowns<\/a> \u2014 certainly impressed a few members of the opposing Jets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCam Newton is a very, very, very good player,\u201d New York defensive lineman Folorunso Fatukasi told reporters after the game. \u201cWe know the plans with the Patriots, you know, suit him. And one thing they do very well is execute the things that they do, so we knew we had to come in with the right plan to execute our jobs against them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShoot, look, Cam is a very great player and his resume speaks for itself. Anybody who watches his game, I believe they would agree. \u2026 He was a great opponent, and we have more great opponents that we\u2019re going to have to play,\u201d Fatukasi added. \u201c\u2026 His name is going to be remembered for a long time. But that doesn\u2019t mean we settle. We have to do more.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Jets head coach Adam Gase was asked if he expected Newton to run more for the Patriots on Monday (10 rushes, 16 yards), but acknowledged how he wasn\u2019t sure how New England would use him.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

\u201cI think we were prepared for quarterback-designed runs,\u201d Gase told reporters. \u201cWe weren\u2019t sure if that would be what they were looking to do game-plan wise. Just \u2018cause most teams, they change up how they run the ball against us a little bit. I don\u2019t think they were looking to see how many hits he could take running the football.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, Newton\u2019s 274 yards passing were the second most this season, behind only his notable Week 2 performance against the Seattle Seahawks. Newton completed 13 of his 14 first-half pass attempts before leading the Patriots on consecutive fourth-quarter drives, which ultimately helped New England pull out the win.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He did, however, score the game-tying touchdown<\/a> with his feet with just under two minutes left in regulation. Newton then helped the Patriots cover 45 yards in 45 second, including a third-down conversion with his feet and a chunk play to receiver Jakobi Meyers with his arm. It set up Nick Folk\u2019s game-winning field goal<\/a> at the buzzer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHO IS CAM NEWTON<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameron Jerrell Newton<\/sup> (born May 11, 1989) is an American football<\/a> quarterback<\/a> for the New England Patriots<\/a> of the National Football League<\/a> (NFL).

Newton had college football<\/a> stints at Florida<\/a> and Blinn<\/a> before joining Auburn<\/a>, where he won the Bowl Champion Series National Championship<\/a> and Heisman Trophy<\/a> in 2010.
