Patriots Fall to Jets in New England’s First Regular Season Loss

The New York Jets didn’t “embarrass” the New England Patriots yesterday like Kerry Rhodes suggested, but the Patriots did suffer their first loss of the regular season yesterday as they lost a tough game to the Jets, ultimately losing the battle in New York with a score of 16-9. Tom Brady and the Patriots were just no match for rookie Mark Sanchez and his New York Jets, and it appears as if Rex Ryan’s trash talking strategies paid off, as the Jets beat the Patriots in New York for the first time since September of 2000.

The biggest downfall of yesterday’s Patriots-Jets matchup was probably the glaring absence of Wes Welker, as the receiver sat out of the game with a knee injury, and the Patriots just couldn’t get a handle on the blitz, as Brady was knocked down five times and hurried 15 times during offensive play. The Patriots never got the chance to score a touchdown, and the Jets ran away with the victory at the end of the day. Now running on adrenaline, the Jets are feeling invincible. Of yesterday’s game, Jets fullback Tony Richardson said, “Rex Ryan’s a frickin’ defensive genius, and it was evident today. I’m glad I wasn’t trying to pick up all that stuff (that the Jets’ defense was throwing at New England). They were coming from everywhere.” The Patriots will get the chance to avenge this loss on Nov. 22, when the Patriots and Jets play each other again - this time at Gillette Stadium.
