Drake Maye, Romeo Doubs put Patriots up 7-3

The New England Patriots struck back early in their matchup against the New York Jets, taking a 7-3 lead after a clutch second-quarter touchdown. Quarterback Drake Maye engineered the scoring drive, buying time on a critical second down before finding rookie wideout Romeo Doubs in the end zone for a 42-yard touchdown.

Doubs’ celebration was cut short as he required on-field medical attention before being escorted off the field by trainers. The Jets had opened the game with momentum, capitalizing on a penalty on Patriots linebacker Tim Patrick to deny an Omar Cooper touchdown catch, settling instead for a field goal.

New England’s defensive duo of Milton Williams and Christian Barmore then stifled the Jets’ next drive with sacks, further solidifying their early advantage with just over four minutes remaining in the opening quarter.
