The Patriots return a kick for a TD with five seconds to play, and beat the Jets 10-3

Marcus Jones He returned a punt 84 yards for a touchdown with five seconds left to play in the game. The Jets were unable to come up with a Miracle of their own, which meant the Patriots had a 10-3 victory and a season sweep of the Jets in their pocket.

The kick was Braden ManThe Jets’ tenth kicker of the day managed just nine pass completions while notching 103 total yards. Only two of those yards came in the second half as the Patriots shutout the Jets run and sacked him Zack Wilson Four times to mitigate their own offensive deficiencies.

Mac Jones He was sacked six times and the Patriots converted only 4 of their 15 down opportunities on the day. Nick Folk He also missed two of the three field goals attempted during the afternoon.
