Patriots-Jets Stock Watch: Brissett, Henry help Pats earn comeback win originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots have had a frustrating 2024 NFL season so far. They are 2-6 and will almost certainly finish outside of the playoffs for the third consecutive campaign.
But one thing Patriots fans can feel good about is the fact that the rival New York Jets are in the same — or even worse — situation. The Jets came into the season with high expectations, but after losing 25-22 to the Patriots in Sunday’s Week 8 game at Gillette Stadium, New York is also 2-6 at the bottom of the AFC East standings.

Another positive for the Patriots from their second win of the season was the resilience the players showed. The Jets had leads of 13-7, 16-14 and 22-17 during the second half, but each time the Patriots bounced back and ultimately put together a fantastic game-winning drive culminating in a Rhamondre Stevenson go-ahead touchdown with 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
What should we take away from Sunday’s result? Here are Phil Perry’s “Stock Up” and “Stock Down” selections for Week 8.
Stock Up
Jacoby Brissett, Quarterback
Perry: “Coming in cold for Drake Maye, who had to leave the game with a head injury, Brissett goes 15-for-24 and 132 yards — not gonna blow you away there. But on the go-ahead drive to finish off this victory for the Patriots — only their second on the season — he converted a third-and-9 by scrambling for 14 yards, and then later he converted a third-and-10 by taking a shot to his lower half and still having enough juice on the football to complete a pass 34 yards to Kayshon Boutte to get the Patriots to within scoring range.”
