The Patriots' offense faced significant setbacks as right tackle Morgan Moses left with an ankle injury, left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker departed with a hamstring injury, and right guard Ben Brown exited with a knee injury.
Patriots cornerback Charles Woods secured a critical interception of New York quarterback Geno Smith's first pass of the season to be intercepted, helping New England maintain its lead in the fourth quarter.
