Patriots
W 27-14 vs Jets · Nov 13, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Patriots fans toasting a winning record, first place in the AFC, and the long-forgotten luxury of going to bed happy.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Maye carved up the Jets with the kind of quiet efficiency that used to feel mythological around here — the 19-yard strike to M.Hollins and back-to-back D.Douglas connections set the tone, and T.Henderson's 7-yard touchdown run made it feel routine. A.Borregales clanging a 45-yarder off the upright is the only thing keeping fans from fully unclenching. First winning record in four years, best mark in the league, and the strange new problem of having to take this team seriously.

“Mack Hollins just casually wandered over like he’d been waiting his whole life for a stranded sedan. Then he nodded to himself and said, “the battery is speaking,” and started setting up the jumper cables—barefoot the whole time like that was just his default setting.”
