I play hard every week. Drew Bledsoe completed 21 of 30 passes for 340 yards for the Patriots, who recovered a fumble in the end zone and got a TD run from Terry Allen in a two-minute span of the third quarter. Cornerback Ty Law and linebacker Chris Slade combined to set up the game-winning field goal. Rick Mirer 's pass intended for Keyshawn Johnson and Slade intercepted it at the Jets' 49-yard line. And the ball got knocked up in the air.
Bad things happen when the ball gets tipped into the air.
You have to give them a great deal of credit. It was important for us to get off to a good start. I'm very pleased. I'm very happy to see us come together and finish off a game like this. The Patriots improved to 2-3 against Bill Parcells, their former coach.
