Story summary

The New York Jets face off against the New England Patriots on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. This week's marquee matchup features Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson competing against Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who is returning from a shoulder injury. Despite Wilson's strong start with 31 catches for 374 yards and three touchdowns this season, he has struggled against Gonzalez in past matchups, managing just five catches for 26 yards over the last few seasons according to Pro Football Focus. The Jets have a poor record at Gillette Stadium, with their only wins there coming in 2002, 2006, 2008, the 2010 playoffs, and the 2023 season finale, standing at 5-21 overall.
