Mitchell, whom the Jets got from the Colts in their deal to trade cornerback Sauce Gardner, caught one pass for 6 yards in his first game as a Jet. That catch came on six targets as Mitchell blatantly dropped two balls.

The Jets started and ended Thursday night's matchup against the Patriots with drives that moved down the field. New York's final drive of the night went for 50 yards on 12 plays in 4:39 before turning it over on downs. In both cases, the Jets' offense was mixing it up between the passing and running game and Fields was a threat.

More than halfway through the 2025 NFL season, the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns are among the teams that have turned their attention toward the upcoming draft to help them make a swift turnaround.

The Jets' decision making in Thursday night's loss to the Patriots did not impress these former NFL stars and current analysts.

The Jets (2-8) lost in a 27-14 final to the Patriots (9-2) at Gillette Stadium in their Week 11 game. It was not a surprising outcome. New York kept it close for a chunk of the contest, but it's clear the Jets need some magic like special teams touchdowns to win in 2025. Those did not happen on Thursday and criticism followed because of that.
