http://www.patriotscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-jeremy-hill-jersey , the New England Patriots played arguably their worst against the Tennessee Titans. The team was overwhelmed in all three phases and as a result blown out 34-10. Along the way, all 46 players on the game-day roster saw time on the field. Let’s take a look at the snap count numbers from the contest:The offensive line had plenty of moving piecesAfter the Patriots already deactivated starting right guard Shaq Mason on Saturday, the team saw plenty of movement along its offensive line during the game. Left tackle Trent Brown played just 38 of 66 snaps (58%) after dealing with illness and back issues, while right tackle Marcus Cannon also had to leave the game for four snaps at one point (62; 94%). Meanwhile, backup LaAdrian Waddle was on the field for 35 snaps (53%), as only two men — guards Joe Thuney and Ted Karras — did not leave it once. The result of all the moving parts was an inconsistent performance in both the running and the passing game.Chris Hogan still holds the number three receiver spotHe was targeted just once all day, but Chris Hogan still appears to firmly hold onto the third receiver spot — at least that’s what he did yesterday. The veteran was on the field for 54 snaps (82%), the same number as Julian Edelman and just one fewer than Josh Gordon. Behind the top trio, Phillip Dorsett had his busiest day since week five: the 25-year old played 15 of 66 snaps (23%) while finishing with two receptions for 18 yards.New England was focused on stopping the run... and unsuccessfulA look at the Patriots’ defensive personnel shows that New England was trying its best to stop the run. Nickel and dime defensive backs Duron Harmon (23 of 65; 35%) and Jonathan Jones (22; 34%) were only used in specific packages, while pass rushing linemen Adam Butler (12; 18%) and Adrian Clayborn (8; 12%) had a limited impact. Meanwhile, New England’s bigger run stoppers up front saw regular time on the field. Despite the defense’s attempts at making Tennessee one-dimensional, the Titans still rushed for 150 yards on 36 attempts.Sony Michel had a light workload in his returnAfter missing two games because of a knee injury, first-round running back Sony Michel returned to the field on Sunday. The rookie had a relatively quiet day: he was on the field for just 17 snaps (of 66; 26%) and carried the football 11 times for 31 yards. The team was obviously easing him back into the lineup, so a bigger workload should be expected to come Michel’s way after the bye week.Just three players were on the field for 100% of the snapsConsidering the game’s blowout nature, it was not surprise to see the Patriots pull starters late in the game. Quarterback Tom Brady and center David Andrews, for example, played just 88% of snaps (58 of 66) while only two offensive players went wire-to-wire: the aforementioned Joe Thuney — now the only remaining player with a playing time share of 100% on the year — and Ted Karras played all 66 snaps. On defense, meanwhile http://www.patriotscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-phillip-dorsett-jersey , cornerback Jason McCourty was the only player to not sit out one of the unit’s 65 snaps. The buzz that once surrounded the AFC East rivalry between the New England Patriots and New York Jets isn't quite what it was.There always seemed to be a little extra something about the week leading up to the teams' two meetings every regular season, with some bold trash talk and colorful Boston-New York comparisons spicing things up.Not so much this time around.It doesn't help, of course, that the Jets (3-7) are struggling mightily while the Patriots (7-3) appear headed to their 10th straight division title and 15th in 16 years. But New England is hitting the road, where it's 2-3 this season, and knows to not expect a cakewalk Sunday at MetLife Stadium."Throughout all sports history, it's always that rivalry there," Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty said of Boston vs. New York. "When we go down there, it's not many Patriots fans in there. If they are in there, you probably don't want to be too loud in that stadium because the Jets fans will get rowdy. It's a lot of fun."Coming off a 34-10 loss to Tennessee two weeks ago , the Patriots are looking to avoid their second two-game losing streak of the season 鈥?something the franchise hasn't experienced since 2015.This might be as good a week as any to get things back on track for New England, which has won four straight in the series against New York and seven of the last eight."I think the rest kind of came at a good time for us to evaluate ourselves, get some rest, recover up, just come back and get ready to go for this last six-game stretch," running back James White said. "Lot of division games, big, tough one against the Jets this week Womens Stephon Gilmore Jersey , so we've just got to come out ready to go from the start to the finish. It's tough every time we play those guys. It's never easy."That's true on the road, despite the lopsided results in the Patriots' favor.In the last five games between the teams at MetLife Stadium, all have been decided by seven points or less 鈥?including a 26-20 overtime win by the Jets in coach Todd Bowles' first season.These are tough times, though, for Bowles. His future beyond this year is in serious doubt, with the Jets' four-game losing streak 鈥?capped by an embarrassing 41-10 loss to Buffalo two weeks ago 鈥?making matters worse.New York is hoping to turn things around at home and avoid its first five-game losing streak since dropping eight straight during Rex Ryan's final season as coach in 2014."There's some things that we can exploit," wide receiver Quincy Enunwa said, "but we just have to be smart."Here are some other things to know about the latest Patriots-Jets showdown:OLD GUYSWith Jets rookie Sam Darnold out with a foot strain , 39-year-old backup Josh McCown will get his second straight start.That means this game will likely feature the NFL's second-oldest QB combo at 80 years, 258 days with 41-year-old Tom Brady expected to go up against McCown. Brady was limited during the week with a sore knee, and didn't practice Friday and was listed as questionable.Only Carolina's Vinny Testaverde (44) and Green Bay's Brett Favre (38) in 2007 are an older combination at 82 years, 44 days old."Our careers, other than the age, there's probably not a lot of similarities," McCown said. "But I can respect what he's gone through year in and year out to get himself ready to play, physically, mentally, and then the focus that it takes to do that is remarkable."GRONK'S BACKPatriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is expected to return from back and ankle injuries after sitting out the last two games. He was listed as questionable after being limited at practice all week."When he plays Youth Danny Shelton Jersey , he's Gronk," Bowles said. "Obviously, he's been nicked up a little bit, but he's a great player. You can't say enough about the guy. And he shows it every time he's out there."CHART TOPPERBrady needs four touchdown passes to top Peyton Manning (579) for the most in NFL history, including postseason games.The Patriots QB could make some more history. He needs 147 yards passing to top Manning (79,279) for No. 1 on the career list.With 252 yards passing, Brady would reach 3,000 for the 16th straight season to tie Manning for second most behind only Brett Favre (18).SAFETY DANCEJets second-year safety Jamal Adams has been a bright spot for New York. He leads NFL safeties with eight tackles for loss and is tied for second with nine passes defensed, four QB hits and two forced fumbles. Adams also is the early leader in Pro Bowl voting among all safeties."Jamal is having a great season, in my opinion," said Bowles, who rarely dishes praise on his players. "His eyes are better from a study standpoint."MARK OF CONSISTENCYWith a win, the Patriots would clinch their 18th straight season with a .500 record or better. That would rank second in NFL history to only Dallas, which had 21 in a row from 1965-85.
