Patriots storm back to beat Jets 30-27, end 4-game skid
After the Jets went three-and-out, the Patriots got the ball back with 47 seconds left and went to work.

It dropped the Jets to 0-9 for the first time in franchise history, and this was an agonizing loss. A miscue by the Jets on special teams kept the Patriotsโ next drive alive. But the Jets were called for 12 men on the field โ resulting in a first down for the Patriots.
