Jets Make Patriots Pay for Overtime Coin Toss Decsion, Win 26-20

After the game, Matthew Slater-the captain out there for the coin toss-explained his role in the call and why he needed confirmation multiple times on the unorthodox approach.

“We talk about that on the sideline because it could have been our choice had it gone differently”, Belichick said, per the Boston Herald.

Jets fans were delighted with the call.

Fitzpatrick has the responsibility of making a presnap read to determine which side of the play he wants to read.

Blake Bortles passed for 368 yards and four TDs for Jacksonville (5-10). The clincher went to Decker to the right post.

Tom Brady has 4,636 yards passing through 15 games in 2015.

“The Patriots’ 26-20 overtime loss to the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium will forever live on as the Coin Toss Loss”.

The biggest factor influencing the occasional decision to kick off is always wind. Would you really put it past him?

In the locker room, Brady quickly dressed in a gray suit. “Three of the last four weeks, we’ve been fighting and winning these types of games”. Then Patriots coach Bill Belichick surprisingly ordered his team to kick off. The Patriots chose to kick off because he wanted to kick off. “We knew once we received the football in overtime we had to take care of business on that drive”. I think he was looking at me like, ‘Are you concussed?’ because I kept asking him. “Good field position, you don’t have to take it as far, you get a stop, get a field goal”. He has won with great defensive teams and he has won with great offensive teams. They are still a Super Bowl contender but might draw a bad first game matchup in the playoffs against a team like the Seahawks.

Then there was Miami backup center Jamil Douglas mistiming his snap on fourth-and-goal from the Indy 5-yard line with 40 seconds left. It’s unlikely, but the Broncos have to win one of their final two games to secure a place in the postseason.

All of that was not necessary on Sunday.

Did it make sense for the Patriots to want to start overtime on defense? “With me, Chan Gailey, and Rex up there, I’m excited that that we do control our own destiny”.

NOT TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS: Also failing to lock things down Sunday were the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aside from the two touchdowns, Marshall finished with eight catches and 115 yards. It was surprising, but I don’t know why anyone would have much of a problem with it. The Patriots’ offense struggled much of the day, converting just 1 of 10 third downs and tallying a mere 284 total yards. They are coming together at the right time. “They showed poise. That’s growth on their part”.

In his second start for Arizona, D.J. Swearinger lined up as the single deep safety, emulating what Denver did against Green Bay in October, with the other safety in the box playing the run and press coverage. “Some big plays were made”.

Earlier in the game, Fitzpatrick was overthrowing receivers often. he made up for it when it counted. I have no idea how the Chiefs will do against an actual playoff team, though they may get lucky and play a Texans teams they already beat.

“It’s just Brandon’s football IQ. We have to get a good week of prep and get ready to go on Sunday”. “That’s why when I was asked after the game if there was any confusion on the play, I don’t think there was any confusion”.

Belichick also defended running down the clock without using a timeout at the end of the first half.

“I’ve seen some coaches do that”, Bowles said.

Bill Belichick has never been afraid to make tough decisions. Brady went 22 of 31 for 231 yards, one TD and an interception by Darrelle Revis.

In fact, the first Patriots touchdown came as a result of the defense, not Brady.

Jamie Collins’ 14-yard fumble return on a third-quarter sack of Fitzpatrick by Jabaal Sheard made it 17-13. He has now won three straight NFC South titles. The tight end had an 8-yard reception on fourth-and-1, then a 26-yarder to set up the touchdown. We are on to Buffalo!

The Jets’ workhorse, Chris Ivory, was once again not 100% during this game.
