Patriots on upset alert as Geno Smith brings a no-INT streak into Jets matchup with Patriots
Geno Smith has not thrown an interception in five starts, and New York enters with a plus-3 turnover margin and eight sacks last week.
New England Patriots host the New York Jets on Sunday at 1 p.m. EDT at Gillette Stadium, pitting the Patriots' high-scoring offense against a Jets defense that held three opponents under 200 total yards.
Jets quarterback Geno Smith enters the contest with a career-best streak of five starts without an interception, maintaining a 69.4% completion rate while anchoring a team with a plus-3 turnover differential.
Rookie edge rusher David Bailey, the AFC Defensive Player of the Week, anchors a Jets unit that registered eight sacks against the Cleveland Browns, tying a franchise high.
Ranking 19th in the NFL entering Week 6, the Patriots' defense has forced only six takeaways, prompting coach Mike Vrabel to voice concern about creating turnovers against Smith's careful play.
Ahead of Sunday's game, New England faces injury uncertainty with left tackle Will Campbell and running back TreVeyon Henderson, while defensive backs Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III manage health issues.
