Mahomes threw for 462 yards and three TDs, with Hill leading the way with 13 catches for 269 yards.

It dropped the Jets to 0-9 for the first time in franchise history, and this was an agonizing loss. A miscue by the Jets on special teams kept the Patriots’ next drive alive. But the Jets were called for 12 men on the field — resulting in a first down for the Patriots.
