“Umm now, I think just trying to get the first down,” Jones said after being asked if he made a dirty play, via Mark Daniels of MassLive. “3rd and 1, and then we came back on 4th and 1. And then try to fake it, so definitely a physical play. Lotta guys are in there, it's kind of like the famous quarterback sneak that everybody does. There's all the guys on both teams are in there, so it can get pretty physical and that's something I have to learn from is getting my pads a little bit lower so that I can get it and not get held up.”

The Patriots went on to beat the Jets 15-10. It was a struggle on a wet day for both offenses, but the Patriots defense was a little bit better. New England had the lead for nearly the entire game, and a two-score lead for a good portion of it as well. Both teams are now 1-2 after the game.
