New York Jets coaches and players comment on their upcoming game against the New England Patriots.
On playing the Patriots...
"We're going to go in there and we're going to fight. I'm going to give these guys all I have, which has been my mantra since Day 1. It's exciting to know that I'm going to be able to play and it's going to be another opportunity to perform for these guys in here. All else out the window, it's about this locker room, these guys."
- Quarterback Bryce Petty
"The challenge is because it's a division game first of all. Secondly, it's a tough place to play up there knowing how good those guys are. So the challenge is just us trying to get our feet on the ground, trying to get to where they are and just going up there and playing a complete football game."
- Head Coach Todd Bowles

"The Patriots wait until you mess up. So, you have to go into the game super discliplined. They run their same plays, dink and dunk all over the field and when you have a technique error or one second of lack of focus that's when they hit you with a screen or trick play. When you play the Patriots you have to be disciplined."
- Cornerback Buster Skrine
On Dion Lewis...
"He's run the ball very well. He's been quick and shifty as a runner but the offensive line is doing a heck of a job in getting him those runs as well."
- Head Coach Todd Bowles
On Tom Brady...
"Everyone knows the Patriots have a great quarterback and he makes everyone around him good, so you have to play to Tom Brady's level in order to beat them."
- Cornerback Buster Skrine
"The guy is one of the greatest to ever play the game and he's still doing it at a very high level."
- Head Coach Todd Bowles
On the Patriots...
"They plug and play. They're moving right along, The offense is playing great. They're running the ball well. The defense is playing great. They have big play receivers and tight ends."
