New York Jets fall short of upset over New England Patriots

Nobody could win a football game by themselves.

Gronkowski had no catches when he left, with Brady unable to connect with the tight end on two third-down throws.

The play Brady was talking about happened in the first quarter, on a pitch to LeGarrette Blount. “We have to find a way to make those plays”. Revis was targeted just once over the Patriots’ first seven possessions – allowing a touchdown to Malcolm Mitchell that bore great resemblance to the one he surrendered to Doug Baldwin in Super Bowl XLIX, sans referee interference – but four times over their final four drives.

‘Playing against the Patriots, you don’t have to play the flawless game, ‘ Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said, ‘but you can’t make mistakes’.

“I haven’t seen Rob, ” Belichick said.

And who are they?

Because Brady and Manning were contemporaries whose teams were perennial contenders in the AFC, the two developed a healthy rivalry. “All the guys kept me encouraged and told me we have more time”. “He’s given up some more plays this year than in the past, but you have to have a lot of respect for his style and his game”. Of the Patriots’ 22 wins over the Jets with Brady behind center, 11 were by eight points or fewer, including six of the past 10 dating back to 2012. “We didn’t play as well as we wanted to, but we made the plays we needed to”.

“Not how we drew it up, but it worked”, Brady said. Revis took the loot – who wouldn’t? – knowing he’d probably never get another championship shot in Woody World.

On Monday, Brady poked fun at himself on his Facebook page with a video of the play interspersed with clips of monster truck, school bus and locomotive train collisions. “It means a lot to him, football. He has come through in the clutch”. There wasn’t a catch but there was a 31-yard pass interference call on Roberts to set up the first of three Stephen Gostkowski field goals. So this year I’ve just been trying to make sure I go out there and do exactly what I know I can do.

Brady didn’t pick on Revis all game, but did say it appeared Revis was played banged up. But how long will it take for the Island to be found that is so much a part of his success at taking it away from a Tom Brady? “That’s the quarterback’s job, to win”. The Patriots could not induce Fitzpatrick into any interceptions, and he never looked flustered. “He’s won a lot”. However, if they plan to be the dominant force they were earlier in the season down the stretch, they need Brady and Gronkowski back at their best. Fitzy was doing a good job with the timing all day, and he just patted it one too long.

Enunwa soared above Malcolm Butler for the catch, with his right foot coming down in the end zone and then his backside, but not his left foot.

BILLS 28, JAGUARS 21 LeSean McCoy, playing with a surgically repaired thumb, scored twice, including a career-best 75-yard run, to lead Buffalo to victory in Orchard Park, N.Y. Tyrod Taylor’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Justin Hunter with 10:46 remaining put the Bills ahead for good during a second half in which the teams traded the lead five times. “It was a great call by Josh McDaniels”.

CB Darrelle Revis on the Patriots’ last touchdown with 1:56 to play. And when it mattered, Brady did what he had to do to win and Fitzpatrick did not.
