When asked after the game if there was any confusion on the call, Belichick scoffed at the notion after having been questioned about the topic earlier in his press conference.

There were definitely some puzzling moments on Sunday during the Patriots loss to the Jets.

Sunday’s game against the Jets wasn’t full of many highlights, but Jamie Collins was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise ugly afternoon.

With the Patriots no longer playing a meaningless Week 17 game the Pats began Sunday evening as an eight point favorite, and by the end of the night the line was up to nine points. In the NFC Arizona clinched a bye, but their domination over Green Bay coupled with Seattle’s loss to the Rams caused that line to have a swing of a full six points, from the Cardinals being 2½ point underdogs to Arizona being favored by 3½ points.

Tom Brady has been able to do a lot with very little this season but on the road against one of the top defenses in the league, there wasn’t much magic to be had on Sunday.

Tom Brady talks about their loss to the Jets on Sunday after the game.

Bill Belichick gives his thoughts following the Patriots’ loss to the Jets on Sunday.

In one of only three NFL Week 16 games between two teams with winning records, the 12-2 New England Patriots take on the 9-5 New York Jets in a game with playoff implications for both teams. The Patriots have already won the AFC East title (for the seventh consecutive season) and earned a first round bye. The Pats can clinch the number one seed and home field throughout the conference playoffs with a win over their arch rivals (or with a loss by Cincinnati). The Jets have the same record as Pittsburgh and Kansas City but need help because they would lose tiebreakers to the Steelers or Chiefs. Gang Green will be eliminated from the playoffs with a loss combined with wins by the Broncos, Steelers and Chiefs. The Jets would also be eliminated from the number five seed with either a loss plus a Pittsburgh win, or a loss plus victories by the Broncos and Chiefs.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick was particularly proud of the fact that all seven Pro Bowlers were ‘home-grown’ talent that the Patriots developed.

As has been the case nearly all season, this week there is a paucity of games between teams that both have winning records. There are only three games that fit in that category this week (and just two for the entire day Sunday): the Patriots at Jets in an early game, Green Bay at Arizona late, and then Cincinnati at Denver on Monday night.

Brady was vintage; he hit on 14 of 17 for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the comeback win.

The New England Patriots travel to face the New York Jets in week 16. Here’s a few thoughts leading up to this contest.

The 34-year old veteran lineman said this week that after 11 seasons in the NFL, he’s starting to ponder the end of his career.

The NFL anounced the 2016 Pro Bowl roster on Tuesday afternoon. Every year there are several players around the NFL that are left off the Pro Bowl list for one reason or another. Here are five players that were deserving of making the trip to Hawaii.

All eyes will be on Jackson to see what he has left in the tank and one particular area to focus on will be ball security. For a guy who hasn’t played all season, that will bear watching.
