New England Patriots make their comeback against the Jets at the last second

The New England Patriots entered this week's game against the New York Jets as big underdogs with a record of 1:6. It was anything but expected to beat the Jets, but with a final score of 25-22 they managed to get the job done.

On their final drive of the game, the Patriots managed a 12-play, 70-yard drive to score the game-winning touchdown.

To cap off the drive, star running back Rhamondre Stevenson scored a one-yard touchdown on fourth down. That's about as close as a game can get.

Unfortunately, with the victory there was also a great defeat. Drake Maye, the team's rookie quarterback and No. 3 overall pick, suffered a head injury and did not return. Hopefully it's an injury that doesn't keep him out of action for long.

Jacoby Brissett was able to step in to relieve Maye and put in a solid performance. He completed 15 of his 24 pass attempts for 132 yards. Stevenson had 20 carries for 48 yards and two scores in the game.

Defensively, New England managed to frustrate Aaron Rodgers and the New York offense throughout the game. They gave up a total of 336 yards but only allowed the Jets to score 22 points.

With the win, the Patriots improved to 2-6 on the season. It was a much-needed win for a team that has been through some drama recently.

After last week's loss, New England first-year head coach Jerod Mayo called his team “soft.” They were comments that didn't sit well with former players and even Bill Belichick.

Despite a situation that could have turned ugly, the Patriots were able to hold together and pull off another big upset win.

For the Jets, it's just another brutal loss in a season that has been a complete disaster. They are also only 2-6 this season.

Next up for New England is a road game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. The Patriots will have a very strong chance to win two games in a row.
