Tom Brady threw a 39-yard touchdown to a wide-open Aaron Dobson on the game's first series before both offenses played as sloppily as the second-half weather, and the Patriots got by the New York Jets 13-10 on Thursday night. Brady had trouble connecting with his rookie-filled receiving corps, while Jets rookie Geno Smith was sacked four times when he took too much time to find someone to throw to. The Patriots (2-0) managed just nine first downs after leading the NFL in points and yards last season. The Jets (1-1) cut the lead to 13-10 on Bilal Powell's 3-yard touchdown run with 5:05 left in the third quarter but Smith threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter, two to Aqib Talib and one to Alfonzo Dennard. Talib's second with 38 seconds left sealed the victory.

the Jets are still fighting to stay competitive at least. I don't hate games like this. They prove a players fortitude. But at some point the Pats have to just fade off. Sports Illustrated picked them to make it to a SB this year and I cant find that anything but laughable right now
