In this week 5 matchup between the Jets and Patriots everyone expected the game to be dictated by two big name quarterbacks in Tom Brady and Mark Sanchez but it was the run game that ultimately gave the Patriots the win 30-21. This is not to say that Tom Brady did not have another great performance throwing for 321 yards on 24 passes and a touchdown pass but this game was all about Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis. The "law firm" as his teammates and fans alike call him rushed for a career high 136 yards and two scores, coming through on 3rd down conversions and a pair of tough red zone carries. On the other side of the field it was not so pretty. The Jets "golden boy" Mark Sanchez threw for 166 yards and again showed that he has no idea how to quarterback a modern NFL football team showing no guts or leadership ability.
From what this game showed this was without a doubt the best game the patriots have played. They were spectacular on offense per usual breaking the NFL record for consecutive 30+ point games in a row and the defense looked the strongest they have looked thus far. The offensive unit was also able to showcase the only thing that they have been lacking this season and that is a run game. With Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis rushing for 136 yards against a very strong Jets defense showing teams that for the first time in a long time the Patriots are not COMPLETELY one dimensional, causing big problems for opposing teams in the future.
