The New York Jets took it to their AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots, on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 3.

The Jets (2-1) took home a 24-3 win over the Pats. New York played a full-team effort that any fan would like... and in an added bonus, the Jets faithful got to see that in person on Thursday as it was the team's long-awaited home opener.

With that, here are five takeaways from the Jets' win over the Patriots:

Vintage Aaron

After a pair of games to start 2024 where we saw an up-and-down showing from the Jets offense... they were jetting all the way up against the Patriots. The effort started at the top with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He was his vintage self and that was bad news for New England.

Rodgers pushed the ball down field all night long. Perhaps more importantly, a ton of players caught passes from him. At least eight players had a catch and that keeps every defensive back on their toes. That helped Rodgers surpass 200 passing yards for the first time in a game this year.

Not an inch on the ground

When an offense rolls like the Jets did, it helps stop an opponent's run game. Then they have to throw the ball and the Patriots did that.

However, in the first half, New York's front seven gave New England nothing. Pats running back Rhamondre Stevenson entered the contest with 201 yards rushing. He barely surpassed 10 in the first half. Head coach Robert Saleh said that aspect of the defense would be fixed, it just took an extra week.

Sacks continue

It was a bad night to be Jacoby Brissett. The Patriots quarterback was running around a lot and getting hit plenty.

The Jets certainly decided to blitz a lot more than their first two games and that helped. The defensive front ended up being rewarded.

Those notching sacks for the Jets included Will McDonald IV (1.5), Quinnen Williams (1) and Micheal Clemons. (0.5). In total, Brissett was hit 9 times as well.

In an added treat, McDonald and Clemons did Jermaine Johnson's sack celebration as he recovers from his Achilles injury.

Tight ends!

In a huge twist, the Jets got their tight ends involved in the offense. As noted, Rodgers was spreading the ball around and these guys were included.

In fact, Tyler Conklin led the Jets. After a combined two catches for 16 yards in their first pair of games contests Conklin had five grabs for 93 yards on Thursday. In addition, Jeremy Ruckert had two for 15. That keeps a defense honest as well.

Building momentum

As is customary with a Thursday game, the Jets now will have an extended period off. After three games in 11 days, that's well deserved.

However, head coach Robert Saleh has to make sure this momentum rolls into Week 4 and beyond. It feels like it certainly will. This is the first time in a long time where an offense wearing the green and white looked like a group to be confident in.
