Three stats to know, and more, from the Jets’ 25-22 loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium on Sunday:
Q Heating Up in Late October
Quinnen Williams had been having a relatively low-key season but he was a defensive force for the Jets defense in Foxboro. Williams was credited with 1.5 of the Jets’ 2 sacks of the Patriots QBs, giving him 3.5 sacks for the season. He also drew a holding penalty on Pats G Michael Jordan, the third time this season opponents have been flagged for holds against No. 95.
It was the 8th multiple-sack game of Quinnen’s 6-year career. And while the Jets didn’t exactly apply heavy heat to Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett in the Patriots’ pocket, the Jets’ 2 sacks gave them a franchise distinction. In their last 6 meetings with the Patriots, the Jets have racked up 28 sacks. Those are the Jets’ second-most sacks in a 6-game span against the same opponent in their history, with the only better 6-game run being executed during the Sack Exchange era when the Jets rolled up 30 sacks, again of the Patriots, from 1980-83.
