EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A look at the New York Jets' weekly stock watch, examining the risers and fallers from Sunday's 24-17 loss to the New England Patriots:

SIX DOWN

S Jamal Adams: One week after grading himself as "below an F," the Jets' No. 1 pick was asked for a self-evaluation after surrendering two touchdowns to tight end Rob Gronkowski. His reply: "We lost. Simple. It's not about me. It's never going to be about me. I don't ever want anybody to think it's about me. It's about the team." Adams was flagged for pass interference.

Coaching: The offense wasted two timeouts in the third quarter because there was confusion with personnel. That's inexcusable. Coach Todd Bowles said, "We can't botch things up and let the clock run down." Yeah, no kidding. Offensive coordinator John Morton got too pass-happy with his play calls. Get this: Josh McCown dropped back to pass on 54 of the 75 plays. That's a recipe for disaster. Morton needs to strike balance on offense.

RBs Matt Forte/Eli McGuire: It's time to put out an APB for the Jets' running game. Forte and McGuire combined for only 44 yards on 19 carries as the Jets failed to move the ball against the Patriots' middle-of-the-pack run defense. Except for the 256-yard aberration against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Jets haven't rushed with any degree of consistency. Morton showed no confidence in his short-yardage running attack, calling an ill-fated pass on fourth-and-1.

CB Buster Skrine: Oh, that dropped interception. When Brady serves up a would-be interception, you can't muff it. Skrine picked one later in the game, but he blew the one that mattered most.

WR Robby Anderson: He made one nice grab for 32 yards, but he was otherwise invisible -- four catches, 12 targets. What happened to the big-play receiver from earlier in the season? Anderson might have run a sloppy route on McCown's costly interception in the second quarter. "It's something Robby and I need to keep working on," McCown said.

THREE UP

WR Jeremy Kerley: He's not perfect anymore, but he made two huge receptions -- 30 and 31 yards, the latter for a touchdown. Like Jermaine Kearse and a handful of others, Kerley arrived at the end of the preseason, but he already has established himself as one of the most reliable receivers. He has 19 catches on 20 targets, his first "miss" coming Sunday. There goes that 1.000 batting average.

TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins: The phantom fumble goes on his record, but that shouldn't detract from a superb performance. He finished with a career-high eight catches and a touchdown, and it should've been two touchdowns. When was the last time a tight end was such an integral part of the Jets' passing attack? Dustin Keller?

CB Morris Claiborne: He shadowed Brandin Cooks for the entire game. The numbers don't show it (six catches for 93 yards), but Claiborne played a terrific game. He got beat on a 42-yard pass, a fantastic throw by Tom Brady that beat good coverage. Week after week, Claiborne shows the ability to be a No. 1 corner.
