New England Patriots vs New York Jets: A Tale Of Two Halves

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The New York Jets simply beat the New England Patriots Sunday, 28-14. The Jets played like winners, and they won the old fashioned way; they never gave up. 

New England started off on the right foot, they conducted two drives that took up 15 minutes combined, while Mark Sanchez and the Jets' offensive sat helplessly on the bench. But that didn't phase them.

After Tom Brady threw a long bomb to Randy Moss, who one handed the ball and looked like baseball great Willie Mays, Sanchez lead the Jets to victory.

Sanchez threw a career high three touch downs, and out played the future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady. 

This game exposed New England's defense some more. 

With New England taking care of the Cincinnati Bengals in week one, a lot of people over-looked the Pats' defense giving up 21 second half points to Carson Palmer and the Bengals. And, that trait carried over to week two. 

The Patriots gave up 18 second half points to the Jets this Sunday. The Jets, who had struggled tremendously against the Baltimore Ravens last Monday night, looked sharp against the Pats' young and inexperienced defense. 

New England has a lot of work to do. 

For one, the defense needs to play a lot better. New England's number one corner back, Darius Butler, was the team's weakest link today.

Butler played terrible. He had two pass interference calls on him, while Sanchez picked on him all day. Butler gave up two big receptions to Braylon Edwards, one being a touch down and the other being a two point conversion. 

Also, a side note: Tom Brady threw two interceptions today and did not look sharp. 

As New York improved to 1-1, New England falls to 1-1.

But, like Sanchez said earlier this week, "there's nothing wrong with going 15-1."
