New York Jets vs. New England Patriots live stream: watch the NFL for free

Add as a preferred source on Google

It’s Week 18 in the NFL season, meaning teams only have one more game left on the schedule. One of those games features the New York Jets (6-10) taking on the New England Patriots (4-12). Coverage on Fox begins at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on January 7. Chris Myers and Robert Smith will call the game from the booth, with Jen Hale reporting from the sidelines at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Will this be Bill Belichick’s last game as the coach of the New England Patriots? That’s the biggest storyline on Sunday since the Jets and Patriots cannot make the postseason. Both teams want to win, however, a loss will help improve that team’s draft position in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Jets have lost 15 straight games to the New England Patriots, the longest active head-to-head streak. The last Jets’ victory came in December 2015, with New York edging out the Pats in overtime by a score of 26-20.

Former President Barack Obama was still in office the last time the Jets beat the Patriots. Because of New England’s dominance, the Patriots are favored by 1.5 points on FanDuel. Potentially seeing Belichick for the last time on New England’s sideline is a strong reason to tune in for this game. If you are watching outside the U.S., issues streaming the game may arise.

YouTube is making view counts bigger, but creators aren’t getting any richer
YouTube is changing what a ‘view’ means, and everyone’s numbers are going up

If you suddenly find your YouTube videos popping off, it might be because of view inflation. Starting August 24, 2026, YouTube is changing how it counts public views. A view will register from the moment a video begins playing — starting with its very first frame — with the same system applied globally across long-form videos, Shorts, and livestreams.

YouTube adds that creators should expect their total public view counts to increase faster as a result. In other words, getting someone to stick around is no longer necessary for that big public-facing number to tick upward.

Prime Video's library goes far beyond the algorithm-driven hits everyone already knows about.
