Back in the AFC East spotlight, the 8-2 Patriots host the Jets on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium, fueled by a seven-game win streak under new coach Mike Vrabel and second-year quarterback Drake Maye. New York enters on two straight wins after beating the Browns despite trading stars Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. Jets coach Aaron Glenn promised "a fight," while Vrabel praised the Jets' energy and excitement on film. Vrabel interviewed for the Jets' job in January before New England hired him and the Jets chose Glenn, setting up a charged meeting between renewed rivals.
