New York Jets vs New England Patriots Game Preview

The Jets own one of the best pass rushes in the league (97th pctl) and generate early-down success at an 84th pctl rate, but their own protection ranks near the bottom (9th pctl sack rate allowed). The offense collapses in the red zone -- a 3rd pctl touchdown rate there -- meaning the pass rush must carry significant weight for this team to win.

New England brings a strong explosive passing attack (80th pctl) and steady scoring (53rd pctl points per drive), with protection that sits in the mid-range (44th pctl). The Patriots convert third downs at 42nd pctl -- not elite, but far ahead of a Jets red zone attack that repeatedly fails to finish. The game hinges on whether field position and the New York pass rush can compensate for a scoring ceiling that the numbers suggest is limited.

Check back the day before the game for the full preview and picks.
