Mike Vrabel: We were lucky to win on Sunday

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel admitted his team’s narrow 26-19 victory over the Jets on Sunday was far from a dominant performance, calling it a game they were ‘lucky’ to win. Despite building a commanding 17-3 halftime lead, the Patriots struggled with execution, including two costly fumbles and multiple dropped passes—most notably from A.J.

Brown—which pushed their season turnover total to 13. Vrabel criticized the team’s ball security as ‘ridiculous’ and an ‘embarrassment,’ though quarterback Drake Maye has remained turnover-free over his last two starts after nine in the first four weeks of the season.

The Patriots’ three-game winning streak continues, but Vrabel emphasized that their lack of consistency remains a major concern heading into the rest of the schedule.
