Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Jets’ 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night in Foxborough, Mass:
Hero
Drake Maye completed his first 11 passes and was serenaded with “MVP!” chants by Patriots fans.
Zero
WR Adonai Mitchell made his Jets debut and dropped two passes, one of which was a beautifully thrown rainbow by Justin Fields.
He was targeted five times and finished with one catch for 10 yards.
Unsung hero
Rookie Patriots OT Will Campbell throttled Will McDonald IV — four sacks against the Browns — and prevented him from even remotely wrecking the game by protecting Maye’s blindside.
Key stat
3: TreVeyon Henderson touchdowns — two on the ground and a 6-yard reception from Maye.
Quote of the night
“MVP? I’m not gonna speak on that right now. He’s gonna be real good. I don’t know if he’s Brady type, but he’s gonna be good.”
— Quincy Williams on Drake Maye
