If I remember correctly, a bunch of different things all happened on the last day of the regular season to give the patriots the bye, the most important of which was the Jets getting into position to kick a 53 yard field goal as time expired to beat the Raiders.
It was bizarre if I recall correctly. Next to last week, Jets had to lose to Buffalo and did in a strange manner even though they outplayed Buff. Then they had to beat the raiders, which they did as the raiders misplayed their game.If I remember correctly, a bunch of different things all happened on the last day of the regular season to give the patriots the bye, the most important of which was the Jets getting into position to kick a 53 yard field goal as time expired to beat the Raiders.
The whole 2001 season was full of stuff like this.
