FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — One picture-perfect pass started the New England Patriots toward an ugly win.

Tom Brady threw a 39-yard touchdown to a wide-open Aaron Dobson on the game’s first series before both offenses played as sloppily as the second-half weather, and the Patriots got by the New York Jets 13-10 on Thursday night.

The Patriots (2-0) managed just nine first downs after leading the NFL in points and yards last season.

The Jets (1-1) cut the lead to 13-10 on Bilal Powell’s 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
