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

“We talk about that on the sideline because it could have been our choice had it gone differently”, Belichick said. The nervousness among Jets fans in the crowd was palpable at that point.

Nazaw, Modi likely to meet in Washington
Nawaz Sharif, flanked by his cabinet ministers, received Modi on the tarmac where military officers lined up along a red carpet. The two countries were born out of British colonial India in 1947, divided into Hindu-majority India and Islamic Pakistan.

Kevin Armstrong: After a drop, Enunway Enunwa propels the Jets in overtime. The clincher went to Decker to the right post. Probably not. But I’m not a football coach and I’m also definitely not as smart as Bill Belichick. “You talk about those situations and have thought on how you want to play it and then as the game unfolds and you see how it plays out, you might adjust that or you might not”. A touchdown and you win the game. “Those are the moments that you cherish”. After spending some time on the ground, Thompkins was carted off into the locker room.

Brian Costello: HC Todd Bowles’ scathing speech turned around the Jets’ year.


Wolf to reveal next move, week after getting GOP budget plan
Wolf’s spokesman said the first-term governor wouldn’t reveal a decision Thursday and probably would wait until next week. Wolf could veto the bill, sign it to end the budget impasse or allow it to become law without his signature.

Belichick said he had no regrets about kicking off.

The Jets have now won five games in a row at a critical time in the season. “Some big plays were made. It was a fun way to end the game”.

What was interesting to note and possibly provides key insight to his decision was Belichick’s reference to what happened in overtime on November 29 in Denver. “He obviously did what he thought was best to help the team win”, Brady said. If the Jets win, they are the six seed at worst.

It’s conceivably a defensible decision-field position matters, plus, even if the Jets had been able to notch a field goal, there’s something nice about knowing how much you’ve got to score and being able to use all four downs to do it-but the risk was an intimidating one. He has won with great defensive teams and he has won with great offensive teams. Unless…the first team scores a touchdown.

All of that was not necessary on Sunday. They just won’t work out in your favor every single time, as the Jets showed us on Sunday.

NOT TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS: Also failing to lock things down Sunday were the Pittsburgh Steelers. For the first three and a half quarters or so, the Jets seemed like the dominant team. On his catch in overtime, “They were playing off coverage on him and pressed outside”.

Indy backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck departed with an injury for the fourth game in a row, and Whitehurst did just enough after entering in the second quarter, completing two scoring drives.

Instead, now it seems that the Jets could be the Divisional opponent for the Patriots, and at Foxborough and not Exit 16-W.

Decker twice won Outsports King of the Hardwood contest, voted on by gay fans as the hottest athlete in sports, and I’ve always been a fan since he tweeted out his congratulations for the award.

“It’s just Brandon’s football IQ”. The reaction was sharp, and I think the primary reason for that was the unconventional nature of the choice.

“Then we get picked, beat on two flag patterns”. And he’s already signaling it to me. “Don’t we get to choose?” The TD came from a combination of a good play call by Chan Gailey, good presnap reads and progression by Fitzpatrick, and a good route and better effort to get open and make a catch by Decker. Marshall had eight receptions for 115 yards, Fitzpatrick threw for 296 yards…. “I love the guy, I love Rex, love his coaching staff, too, but he’s in the way right now”.

It sounded as if there was confusion surrounding the decision when Matthew Slater made the call Sunday. On the next play, Brady looked for Rob Gronkowski in the left seam, and had a step on Darrelle Revis. It is the second straight week that the Patriots defense has scored a touchdown.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is not a dominant quarterback, but he has played like one recently.

LB Jamie Collins tied a team mark with his fifth forced fumble of the season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes for Kansas City, and the game clock finally stopped Johnny Manziel as the Chiefs won a team record-tying ninth consecutive game. This was the 111th game between the Jets and Pats, a rivalry that dates back to the AFL and 1960.

THE SECRET IS TIMING: It’s a game of inches – and seconds – and if somehow the Indianapolis Colts sneak into the playoffs, they can thank Miami backup center Jamil Douglas.
