Tom E. Curran, Ted Johnson and Michael Holley offer instant reaction and analysis following the Patriots’ 25-22 comeback win vs. the Jets.
The New England Patriots are finally back in the win column -- but it came on a day when their rookie quarterback suffered a concussion.
Jerod Mayo's squad snapped a six-game losing streak with a 25-22 victory over the New York Jets in Week 8. Drake Maye exited after taking a hit to the head in the first quarter, and backup Jacoby Brissett came in and steadied the ship while Aaron Rodgers and the Jets sank.

The Patriots don't know who their quarterback will be in Week 9 yet, but it could be another victory opportunity whether it's Maye or Brissett. That's because New England is traveling to Tennessee to face off with the Titans, who are fresh off a 52-14 loss to the Detroit Lions. Like the Patriots, the Titans have a first-year head coach who has gone through some growing pains. Mason Rudolph has started the last two games with Will Levis injured, and his status is unclear for Week 9, as well.
While the Patriots and Titans might not have playoff aspirations at this point in the season, there's still plenty to play for. New England has young talent on both sides of the ball that it needs to learn about, while Tennessee's league-leading defense in yardage can keep them in games when the offense isn't turning the ball over.
