Wishnowsky contributes as Patriots edge Jets

Mitch Wishnowsky featured for New England in the Patriots’ 26–19 home win over the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium. The Australian punter handled two punts for 100 yards at a 50-yard gross average, with a long of 54 yards and one punt placed inside the 20. He recorded no touchbacks. New England built a 17–3 half-time lead after taking the opening quarter 7–3 and adding 10 points in the second. The Jets responded strongly in the third period, outscoring the Patriots 10–0 to level the game at 17–13 entering the final quarter. New England regained control in the fourth, winning the period 9–6 to secure the seven-point victory. Wishnowsky’s involvement was limited to the Patriots’ punting duties, but his 54-yard long and one inside-20 kick were useful contributions in a closely contested second half.
