Grading the Jets' 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday:
Offense
The Jets racked up 400 yards and didn't have a single three-and-out all night.
This is what we expected to see from this offense with Aaron Rodgers at the helm with plenty of weapons.
Rodgers (27-of-35, 281 yards, 2 TD, 118.9 QB rating) was surgical in tearing apart the Patriots' defense.
He got rid of the ball quickly throughout the night and distributed it everywhere.
The offensive line was strong again and Rodgers was sacked only twice.
The running back combination of Breece Hall (16 carries, 54 yards, 1 TD) and Braelon Allen (11 carries, 55 yards) was impressive for the second straight week.
Grade: A-
Defense
The Jets didn't let the Patriots' offense breathe in this game.
New England's only points came after a pass interference penalty on DJ Reed.
The Patriots managed just 139 yards, 78 of them rushing.
The Jets had seven sacks in the game.
DE Will McDonald led the way with 2 sacks and now has 5 ½ on the season.
The Patriots punted five times and lost the ball, ending another drive.
The Patriots only had one play of 20 yards or more in the game.
Grade: A
Special teams
Greg Zuerlein made a rare mistake in the first half when his 45-yard field goal attempt went wide left.
The Jets didn't accomplish much in the return game.
They were strong in their kick coverage.
Thomas Morstead had a quiet night with just three clearances.
Grade: C
Training
Playing three games in 11 days was a tall order for the Jets, but they reportedly posted a 2-1 record when the schedule came out.
Credit must go to Robert Saleh and his team for leading these first three games.
Jeff Ulbrich had a great game to frustrate the Patriots defense.
He was more aggressive than usual and charged to stop the race.
Nathaniel Hackett got the Jets up to speed early and the offense scored on two of its first three possessions.
Grade: B
