The New England Patriots enter Week 3 with a 1-1 record, coming off a tough overtime loss. Their upcoming matchup against the New York Jets, led by Aaron Rodgers, poses a significant challenge, especially with multiple starters potentially absent due to injuries.

Key players like Ja'Whaun Bentley and Vederian Lowe are already ruled out, with several others listed as questionable. Despite these challenges, the Patriots aim to leverage a smashmouth playing style, focusing on running the ball and a chaotic defense.
