- Film study: Dissecting the collapse
The furor over the play calling and the Jets’ deployment of QBs Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow has overshadowed something important: The team has improved since the 49ers debacle.
Look at the last 2 1/2 games, including the OT period against the Patriots: The Jets have outscored their opponent in seven of the last 11 quarters, and they haven’t been outscored by more than seven points in any one quarter. And they faced two quality opponents, the Texans and Patriots.

- Five Plays: Jets at Pats
Here are five key plays that shaped Sunday’s 29-26 loss to the Patriots.
1. SPECIAL TEAMS BLUNDER: After the Jets took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, the Patriots got the momentum right back with a 104-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Points are critical anytime you play a high-octane offense like the Patriots, and the Jets’ special teams gave New England a quick seven.
2. GOTTA MAKE THAT THROW: The Jets trailed 16-7 and had the ball at the Patriots’ 36-yard line in the second quarter.
- Belichick lauds his ‘Jet killer’

“Rob … Jet killer,” Belichick declares, grinning.
