Patriots vs. Jets: Jets Beat Patriots 28-14, Head to AFC Championship Game

The New York Jets have done it again. A week after they pulled off an upset on the road against the Indianapolis Colts, they have now taken down their biggest rival, defeating the New England Patriots by a final score of 28-21.

It was a masterful day for the Jets defense, as they managed to hold the Patriots to just two offensive touchdowns. Tom Brady very rarely had open receivers down the field, and both he and the Patriots as a whole often times looked utterly confused.

It was also a banner day for Mark Sanchez, who threw three touchdowns and didn't make a single mistake all game long.

The Patriots did manage to cut the score to 21-14 with a late fourth quarter field goal, but Antonio Cromartie returned the ensuing onside kick deep into New England territory, and Shonn Greene scored on a touchdown run to make it 28-14, all but sealing the deal.

Brady hooked up with Deion Branch on a touchdown pass with less than a minute to go in the game to make it 28-21, but the Jets once again recovered the ensuing onside kick.

From there, all it took was a simple kneel-down.

It's on to Pittsburgh for the Jets, who will play in the AFC Championship Game for the second year in a row.
