The Patriots weren't just beaten by the Jets on Thursday night. The embarrassing loss showed how bad this season could be in New England.

The sloppy play persisted as the Patriots missed tackle after tackle. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers carved up New England’s defense, finding open receiver after open receiver. The final score of 24-3 doesn’t even reflect the lopsided nature of the game.

Despite multiple declarations that they were proud to be a run-first team, the Patriots passed on seven of their first nine plays in Thursday’s ugly loss to the New York Jets. Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt regretted that approach.

Jets fans were so fired up for their home opener against the Patriots on Thursday night that some were seen lighting a jersey of their rival on fire in the parking lot.

Jets fans are ramping up their support before facing the Patriots on Thursday night, going so far as to burn a Patriots jersey. With Aaron Rodgers sidelined for the season, the Jets hope this increased fan intensity will aid them against a Patriots team starting Jacoby Brissett instead of rookie Drake Maye.

Jets fans were clearly feeling pretty good going into Thursday’s matchup with the Patriots. So much so that some fans in the parking lot of MetLife Stadium started burning a No. 10 jersey in a clip posted to social media.
