The Patriots and Jets play Sunday in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season. Milton Williams, Khyiris Tonga, Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Harold Landry III, Robert Spillane and Jared Wilson have all been ruled out for the game. DeMario Douglas is listed as questionable to play, while TreVeyon Henderson is expected to suit up.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had as many passing touchdowns (five) Sunday as Jets quarterbacks have had since Nov. 9. The MVP candidate completed his first 11 passes and finished 19-for-21 for 256 yards in two-plus quarters of dominance.

Amid an already disappointing season, the New York Jets reached new lows in Sunday's game against the rival New England Patriots.

Quarterback Brady Cook and the New York Jets (3-12) got roasted yet again—this time against the New England Patriots (3-12) on a bitter and damp Sunday afternoon in East Rutherford during the NFL's Week 17 slate. It was a brutal 42-12 final.

The lone turnover of the game came on an interception by Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins, who undercut a route to pick off Jets quarterback Brady Cook in the first quarter. It was Hawkins' third interception of the season. The veteran defensive back has proven to be a reliable playmaker in a secondary that got a complete overhaul in the offseason.

The New England Patriots are AFC East champions for the first time since the Tom Brady era. Drake Maye and the Patriots clinched the division thanks to the Buffalo Bills' 13-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

If the Patriots win and the Chargers beat the Denver Broncos, New England will earn the top seed and a bye in the first round. Unfortunately for the Patriots, the Broncos have already clinched the AFC West division title, and the Chargers have already sealed a playoff berth. So how much the game will mean to Los Angeles is still to be determined.

It was a routine victory for the Patriots in the first matchup back in Week 11, when they rolled to a 28-14 victory. They'll be looking to complete the sweep in Week 17 against a Jets team that has only won three games so far this year.
