Last night's match-up between the New England Patriots and New York Jets wasn't a pretty one by any means, with both teams struggling along the way offensively. In fact, Tom Brady's first quarter 39-yard connection with Aaron Dobson was the only touchdown pass of the entire night. When the final whistle blew, the Patriots picked up a 13-10 win and advanced to 2-0, while the Jets are now 1-1.
Elsewhere, some of the MLB's top performers favored Under Armour cleats, while the Los Angeles Sparks picked up a close 85-84 win over the Minnesota Lynx in WNBA action. Read on to find out more about The Shoes That Won Last Night.
