• How the Jets Are Preparing to Contain Cam Newton on Monday Night
• Patriots' Stephon Gilmore Ruled Out vs. Jets; What it Means For New York

The Jets will be without two of their best players on Monday night. Quarterback Sam Darnold and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams are inactive due to injury, as expected. 

Linebacker Blake Cashman, quarterback James Morgan, offensive lineman Cameron Clark, kicker Sam Ficken, and wideout Vyncint Smith are all out for Monday Night Football against the Patriots as well.

That means wideouts Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman are back in action, joining rookie standout Denzel Mims. It's the first time this season New York will have their three starting receivers available. We'll see if backup quarterback Joe Flacco can find them—against a vulnerable Patriots secondary without an injured Stephon Gilmore—to get New York's offense on track.

As for the Jets game day roster moves, cornerback Bryce Hall was activated before game time. Tight end Trevon Wesco, who hadn't practiced since Thursday, was placed on the IR.

FINAL: Jets 27 - Patriots 30

The Jets extend their winless start to the season to nine games, falling 30-27.

6:07: This one should be fun here at the end. The Patriots tack on three with another field goal from Nick Folk. It's a one possession game.

0:29: Wow. Joe Flacco with an absolute DIME to Jamison Crowder for a 20-yard TD pass. The play was initially ruled incomplete but on the replay, it was easy to overturn. Crowder dragged his back foot to stay in, securing a perfectly placed ball from Flacco.

With the TD, Flacco passes Joe Montana for 20th on the NFL's all-time passing yards list.

Uh oh. Left tackle Mekhi Becton is questionable to return with a chest injury. He walked back to the Jets locker room with a trainer after coming off toward the end of the first quarter.
