The New England Patriots are still in search of their first win entering a Week 3 matchup against the New York Jets.

A few weeks ago, the divisional matchup felt more daunting than ever thanks to New York's addition of future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. And though he tore his Achilles just moments into his Jets tenure, their defense can't be dismissed.

All week, Patriots.com reporters have worked hard to update fans on the latest news and analysis ahead of the game. Here's everything you need to know ahead of the matchup to make sure you're the most knowledgeable fan at the watch party, tailgate, or water cooler:

  • The Patriots have won their last 14 games against the Jets, home or away, dating back to 2015. But between their stout defensive front and skilled young skill players, New York is certainly capable of breaking that streak.
