Jordan Jenkins was watching a video of the Patriots this week and their game against the Bills happened precisely. The linebacker said he could not help but think about what happened when the Jets faced Buffalo.
It's been two weeks, but the Jets have not totally forgotten the modest loss of 31 points in the Bills. The Jets were embarrassed and their defense was the toughest, giving 41 points to a team that had scored 46 in their previous six games.
They bring some of the anger felt after this defeat in Sunday's game against the Patriots.
"Sometimes, when you watch a movie, you see the bills coming in," said Jenkins. "I thought," Oh, (shoot) I can not wait to play. "
The Jets should not need more motivation for this game, especially for the defense.
They play their main rival AFC East, home where they were humiliated by Buffalo. They have not won a match since October 14th. Their head coach is fighting for his position, like some players.
Dropping Bill Belichick and Tom Brady would not make up for all their losses. But that would relieve the minds and expectations of the Jets before the last month of the year.
"We have to come here and continue to work, continue to grind and make the most of it," said linebacker Avery Williamson. "We have the last six games. We have to fight and finish strong.
Williamson, like most Jets, went home during the week off. He said that he had to clear his mind, but Buffalo was still with him.
"It was a loss I did not expect and how it happened," Williamson said. "It was bad, you want to prove that we are not that type of team or that type of defense."
Slowing down Brady and the Patriots, who are seventh in the league with an average of 28 points per game, would be a start.
Do your job
It's never good when a coach says his team is not playing hard enough. Team coach Brant Boyer said it was a problem for his unit. He told them that it was better not to happen against Cordarrelle Patterson, back from the Patriots.
"Sometimes I do not think we run hard enough," said Boyer. "It's something that I've criticized a lot for my guys. Sometimes they start to relax a bit because they think it will be a little complicated. This is something that does not satisfy me and I have made it known. If that happens, we will have problems this week. "
The Boyers consider Patterson "the best kicker in the game." Patterson, who broke a 95-yard touchdown this year, leads the NFL with 30.9 yards per return. He is # 1 in this category three times in the last five years. Patterson will sometimes execute him outside the end zone, so Boyer's group knows they have to do everything they can to do the right thing.
Great Tom
Brady has a chance to set two records on Sunday. He needs 147 passing yards and four touchdowns to overtake Peyton Manning and become the all-time NFL leader in both categories. Manning had 79,279 yards and 579 touchdowns.
Brady, 41, dominated the Jets 25-6 in his debut against them with 7,515 yards, 48 touchdowns and 14 steals. But only one of his 28 TD games was against the Jets.
"He's just getting better with age," said defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers.
Todd Bowles said, "It has been great for a long time. He does not look different.
The X factor
Wide receiver Jermaine Kearse was one of the most reliable players in the Jets last year and, like most receivers, has not had much impact this season. Kearse is looking for exceptional performance and the Jets offensive needs it. Kearse had a good chemistry with Josh McCown last year and the Jets face a leaky defense. New England yields the eighth-yard passing record (270.3). Kearse is also the healthiest receiver on the Jets. Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa were restricted to practice during this week.
Roll of honors
Jets legend Joe Namath will be honored on Tuesday at the 35th annual March of Dimes sports luncheon. In addition, former Jets Kevin Mawae, Alan Faneca, Law Ty, Ed Reed and Steve Atwater are among the 25 semi-finalists of the modern day Professional Football Hall of Fame.
