Jets Sleepover In Foxboro

The AFC's No.1 seed has been put to bed by the 6th seeded New York J.E.T.S. Jets, Jets, Jets.

QB Tom Brady and the Bill Belichek coached New England Patriots, the football darlings of nearly every media outlet, was out-scored, out-coached and flat out out-played by the brash Jets.

The New York team appeared to be the better team with their consistent defensive play. The Jets made the Patriots vaunted offense look helpless at times and frustrated Brady throughout the game. I've never seen a team employ a three-man rush to shut down a quality passer like the Jets employed today. Brady had plenty of time to throw but the Jets limited his long ball and big play ability.

New England gave their home crowd brief windows of hope a few times, but the Jets kept coach Rex Ryan's bare beefy foot on the Patriots necks just enough to put them to sleep. By the time Jets RB Shonn Green fell to sleep in the endzone following a 16-yard scoring rush, Patriots players and fans appeared to be tapping out of the contest.

Final Score
Jets 28
Patriots 21
