The Patriots are off to a 1-1 start while giving reason to believe that the team can still be an organized, competitive force while building its roster back up under first-year coach Jerod Mayo. New England opened with a 16-10 road win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 and fell to the Seattle Seahawks, 23-20, in overtime as Seahawks kicker Jason Myers forced overtime with a 38-yard field goal and won the game with a 31-yarder in OT.

The Jets have made it further with Aaron Rodgers under center than they did a year ago, when Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in his first game as a Jet. New York has a big opportunity ahead with four consecutive home games after splitting a pair of road games with the San Francisco 49ers (32-19) and Tennessee Titans (24-17) to open the season.
