One team was celebrating a last-second victory, a win that continued their uptick in play of late.
The other was out of its game before the end of the first quarter and benched its highly hyped first-round pick.
While the Jets (3-9) appear to be trending in the right direction under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn, the Giants (2-11) seem to be regressing.
They got rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart back from a concussion on Monday night in New England, and it didn’t matter. Their special teams unit produced a ghastly display, and the Patriots overwhelmed them, 33-15.
