THE FINAL WORD: Bill Belichick's squad will play three games in just 12 days:
“Well, we’ll have to, again, manage our time the best that we can,” the Patriots' head coach said. “We know what the schedule is. Certainly, the Jets are the highest priority, but we have to be ready for the rest of the schedule. We have different people in the organization working on different things, so hopefully, we’ll be prepared for each of our opponents through the remainder of the season, but the Jets are a big priority right now.”
