The New York Jets suffered one of its worst losses in decades after losing 54-13 against the New England Patriots on Sunday and some of the players aren’t happy with how the Patriots ran up the score.
Rookie quarterback Mac Jones threw his first 300-yard game with two touchdowns and three more on the ground while the Jets struggled to make anything happen offensively. New England, already leading 34-13, scored 20 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
“It’s the NFL. We’re all professional athletes. If you don’t want to get scored on, you gotta stop ‘em. Is it something I would do? Probably not, but to each his own.”
Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins echoed Saleh’s comments in the post-game press conference saying: “Probably some things I’m not going to say … but it’s our job to stop it.”
Jets offensive tackle Morgan Moses told The Athletic’s Connor Hughes that he and other players on the team were upset with the Patriots’ decision to run up the score.
