The weekend started with the Jets easy 24-3 win Thursday night win over the Patriots, who were overmatched. Aaron Rodgers threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns to boost their record to 2-1. The game was so lopsided that the Pats gave rookie Drake May his first action late in the game as he completed 4 of 8 passes for 22 yards and was sacked twice. But coach Jerod Mayo said he is sticking with Jacoby Brissett as the starter for obvious reason. The Patriots offensive line can’t protect the quarterback and the Patriots don’t want Maye to take a beating.
