we also note that julian edelman is doubtful. martin is the only healthy receiver that's caught a pass all season long. so brady is well aware this game sunday isn't going to be a walk in the park. >> they're pretty hot right now. so they've always had a good defense. going to have his hands full with the game this sunday. the jet have recorded 13 sacks during the four-game winning streak and new york has four players with multiple intercessions this season. >> throughout the whole year, they've had very solid defense. they're very solid last time we played them. very competitive. very tough. >> hasn't been this defense that, you know, has been, you know, kind of a walk in the park for our offense. challenge. but it starts with having really good players. they've been really coached, really well coached this year. there's a lot of, you know, scheme things they do that are challenging to prepare for. >> reporter: the patriots didn't give its running game much of a chance during their 30-23 victory over the jets in week seven, but
