Marcus Jones returned a punt 84 yards for a touchdown with 5 seconds remaining and the New England Patriots outlasted the stunned New York Jets 10-3 on Sunday.
It was the third straight win for the Patriots and their 14th straight over New York. They also denied the Jets a chance to move into first place in the AFC East this late in the season for the first time since 2010. Instead, New York dropped to last place.The Jets haven’t won in Foxborough since the 2010 playoffs when they knocked out the Patriots in the divisional round.
Jets coach Robert Saleh said he thought their defense was “outstanding." He likened the offense's second-half effort to dog feces. But he said it wasn't just on the second-year quarterback. First, Jones dived in front of Mims and dropped a near interception. Then, Jones was called for defensive holding on Mims, negating what would have been a sack by Mack Wilson.“Complete domination. That’s kind of what what we wanted to do," Patriots defensive lineman Deatrich Wise, Jr. said."We wanted to stop the run and affect the pass. And I thought we did that.
