The New York Jets will be forced to utilize backup quarterback Brady Cook in this week's game, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.This game's line suggests an extreme throwing game script for the Jets, who are enormous -13-point underdogs.The passing games of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still weather conditions (4-mph wind) being called for in this game, while ground volume may decline.Jeremy Ruckert's 85.1% Adjusted Catch% this year illustrates a substantial improvement in his pass-catching skills over last year's 66.4% mark.The New England Patriots pass defense has conceded the 9th-highest Adjusted Completion% in football (77.3%) versus tight ends this year (77.3%).
