New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt is looking back on his game plan in the team’s 24-3 loss to the New York Jets on Thursday with regret. When speaking with media members on Monday, Van Pelt admitted the team should have run the ball more earlier in the game.

Despite multiple declarations that they were proud to be a run-first team, the Patriots passed on seven of their first nine plays in Thursday’s ugly loss to the New York Jets. Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt regretted that approach.

Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes in a superb homecoming performance, New York’s defense was dominant and the Jets rolled to a 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots.
