AD Mitchell made his Jets debut on Thursday night against the Patriots but had just one catch and three drops in the loss.
It was a long Thursday night in Foxboro, where Justin Fields and the lack of a passing game made it tough to assess just what the Jets have.
But now, the Jets are back to year zero of yet another teardown/rebuild cycle. They’re headed for a high draft pick in a year where all of the quarterback prospects look underwhelming, while the Patriots are the betting favorites to finish with the best record in the AFC.
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.

Fields runs for an early score before Jets’ quarterback problems resurface in 27-14 loss to Patriots
Justin Fields ran for an early score lead against the New England Patriots. But once he stopped running, the Jets struggled to move the ball.
It was a strong effort both on offense and defense for the Patriots, who improved to 9-2 on the season after picking up their eighth straight win. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye handled business against the struggling Jets defense by going 25-of-34 passing for 281 yards and one touchdown.
That’s the primary takeaway from the Jets’ 27-15 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night dropped them to 2-8. No one outside of the Jets building expected them to win, and few people even expected them to stay in this game.
