Patriots vs. Jets live updates: Score, highlights for Thursday Night Football

The New England Patriots |A| and New York Jets |B| renew their rivalry on |C| "Thursday Night Football," but |D| with a different look.

When |E| the two AFC East |F| rivals meet in MetLife |G| Stadium on Thursday night, |H| Bill Belichick won't be |J| on the New England |K| sideline for the matchup |L| for the first time |M| since 1999.

During Belichick's tenure, |O| the Patriots owned the |P| Jets: Belichick's teams went |Q| 37-11 in the regular |R| season vs. the Jets |S| and their lineup of |U| seven head coaches since |V| 2000.

The Jets, though, have |Y| an opportunity to pen |Z| a new chapter against |A| a Patriots team that |B| will have to find |C| its way under the |D| guidance of new head |E| coach Jerod Mayo. Both |F| teams still have a |G| bit to prove.

After a |H| Week 1 stunner against |J| the Bengals, the Patriots |K| crashed back to Earth, |L| losing a competitive game |M| to the Seahawks in |O| overtime. Now, Pats fans |P| are anxiously (and maybe |Q| impatiently) awaiting the nod |R| to No. 3 overall |S| pick Drake Maye, who |U| has been on the |V| bench behind Jacoby Brissett |Y| this season.

The Jets are also |C| finding their footing after |D| a wishy-washy first two |E| weeks of the season: |F| New York was handed |G| a brutal loss by |H| the 49ers in Week |J| 1, and struggled to |K| get going against the |L| Titans in Week 2. |M| They came away with |O| a win, though it |P| wasn't aesthetically pleasing football.

NFL |Q| POWER RANKINGS:Where do Jets, |R| Patriots sit entering Week |S| 3 matchup?

The Patriots-Jets rivalry |U| is rekindled on Thursday |V| night. USA TODAY Sports |Y| will provide live updates, |Z| highlights and more from |A| the Week 3 "Thursday |B| Night Football" matchup below:

Greg |C| Zuerlein makes 28-yard field |D| goal: Jets up 24-3

The |E| Jets extended their lead |F| to 24-3 with a |G| chip-shot make by Greg |H| Zuerlein. It marked his |J| first made field goal |K| of the day after |L| he missed from 45 |M| earlier in the game.

Rhamondre |O| Stevenson fumbles to set |P| up Jets scoring opportunity

On |Q| his sixth carry of |R| the night, Stevenson was |S| stripped by the Jets |U| safety Chuck Clark. New |V| York recovered and set |Y| the Jets up with |Z| the ball at New |A| England's 37-yard line.

End of |B| third quarter: Jets dominating |C| Patriots

The Jets are continuing |D| to dominate the Patriots. |E| New York has outgained |F| New England by 271 |G| yards and appears well |H| on its way to |J| a 2-1 start to |K| the 2024 season.

Now, the |L| only question is whether |M| Aaron Rodgers will log |O| his first 300-yard passing |P| game since 2021 or |Q| if the Jets will |R| take a conservative approach |S| to end what's shaping |U| up to be a |V| blowout.

Morgan Moses injury update

Moses, |Y| the Jets' starting right |Z| tackle, suffered an injury |A| just before the end |B| of the third quarter |C| when a Patriots defender |D| rolled up on his |E| left leg. The 11-year |F| veteran remained face down |G| on the ground and |H| was writhing in pain |J| as the New York |K| medical staff tended to |L| him.

Moses has made 146 |M| starts during his NFL |O| career and has missed |P| just three games since |Q| the 2015 season. Rookie |R| first-round pick Olu Fashanu |S| is the next man |U| up on New York's |V| depth chart.

Josh Uche called |Y| for roughing the passer |Z| on Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers |A| took a big shot |B| on a third-and-2 pass |C| when Patriots linebacker slammed |D| into him a beat |E| after he released a |F| pass to Tyler Conklin |G| for a first down.

Rodgers |H| was no worse for |J| wear after the hit |K| and got up with |L| no issue.

Jacoby Brissett slow |M| to get up again |O| after sack

Brissett was sacked |P| for a fourth time |Q| as the Patriots tried |R| to answer the Jets' |S| touchdown, and he remained |U| on the ground briefly |V| after the play. He |Y| eventually got up to |Z| one knee and stood |A| back up before exiting |B| the field on a |C| fourth-and-26.

Brissett's status will bear |D| monitoring as the Patriots |E| trail 21-3 with 3:43 |F| left in the third |G| quarter. If New England |H| writes the game off |J| as a blowout, Drake |K| Maye could see his |L| first NFL action in |M| relief of Brissett.

Aaron Rodgers, |O| Garrett Wilson connect on |P| impressive 2-yard touchdown

Aaron Rodgers |Q| makes a great throw |R| to the front pylon |S| to hit Garrett Wilson |U| for a 2-yard touchdown. |V| Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez |Y| tried to undercut the |Z| route for a pick-six, |A| but Rodgers put it |B| just high enough for |C| Wilson to jump, make |D| the grab and get |E| his feet down before |F| going out of bounds.

The |G| Jets now lead 21-3 |H| after Greg Zuerlein's extra |J| point was good.
