The New England Patriots were looking across at an old friend on Thursday Night Football.
Nick Folk is now the kicker for the New York Jets, while the Pats have Andres Borregales kicking for them.
Folk has been gone for a few years, but Patriots fans likely remember him fondly.
Borregales missed a field goal to end the first half, which brought the contrast into the spotlight.

Why did the Patriots get rid of Nick Folk?
The Pats were trying to get cheaper and younger.
Folk completed his age-38 season with the Patriots in 2022.
He spent four seasons in New England.
With the Pats, Folk made 108-of-121 field goals (89.3%) and 91.3 % of his extra points.
Why is Andres Borregales the Patriots' kicker?
New England went for a new kicker in 2025 by drafting Borregales.
He was a sixth-round pick, No. 182 overall, out of Miami.
Entering Week 11, Borregales was 13-for-14 on field goals, including 2-for-2 beyond 50 with a long of 53. He was also 28-for-30 on extra points entering TNF.
