Following Thursday night's 27-25 loss to the Patriots in Foxboro, ESPN.com's Rich Cimini wrote: "The Jets are finished for 2014. They dropped their sixth straight, falling to 1-6 and 0-1 in the AFC East. This was their last stand, and probably Rex Ryan's last stand. It was a tremendous effort, but they weren't able to overcome Tom Brady and a few lapses on defense."

Cimini went on to explain the Jets played their game, controlling the ball for a stunning 40 minutes, but they're so limited offensively that there was no margin for error. It ended with a blocked field goal from 58 yards as time expired.

Geno Smith delivered a gutty, workmanlike performance, managing to go without an interception for only the fifth time in 23 career starts. As Cimini suggested, the Jets can live with "workmanlike" from Smith, who has gone three straight games without sabotaging the Jets with turnovers.

He was aggressive with his scrambling, rushing for 37 yards. Smith managed the game nicely, but he just couldn't deliver any huge plays in the passing game. He finished 20-for-34 for 226 yards and a late touchdown pass. In the end, he came up one pass short, misfiring on a two-point conversion that would've tied the game.

Chris Ivory, coming off a 7-yard rushing performance last week, carried the Jets' offense, rushing for a game-high 107 yards on 21 carries. He also scored the Jets' only touchdown, a 1-yard leap that gave them a 19-17 lead. The Patriots, minus injured middle linebacker Jerod Mayo, couldn't handle Ivory's punishing running style.

According to CBSSports.com's Igor Mello, Bilal Powell was forced out of Thursday night's game with a foot injury. Powell exited late in the third quarter after catching a 12-yard pass. It was his only catch of the night. He also rushed for seven yards on one carry before leaving the game.

Smith went down with a left knee injury in the fourth quarter. Michael Vick took over for one play before Smith returned to action.
