The Patriots got outplayed by the trash talking Jets yesterday, plain and simple.  Tom Brady’s numbers look pretty good as he completed 29 of 45 passes for 299 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 INT.  He piled up a lot of numbers late in the game as he looked a tad off for the first three quarters in this game.  Danny Woodhead led the way on the ground for the Patriots in this game with 46 yards rushing on 14 carries (3.3 ypc) and he also caught 6 passes for 52 yards (8.7 avg).  BenJarvus Green-Ellis pitched in with 43 yards rushing on 9 carries (4.8 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 11 yards (5.5 avg).  WRs Wes Welker (7 rec, 57 yards) and Deion Branch (5 rec, 59 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Patriots yesterday but they each dropped passes that hit both of their hands in this game.  TEs Rob Gronkowski (4 rec, 65 yards) and Alge Crumpler (3 rec, 39 yards, TD) also helped out big time in this game.  Crumpler also made  a huge play saving a TD in the first quarter when he ran down LB David Harris after a pickoff.  The Patriots finished up with 113 yards rushing on 28 carries (4.0 ypc) and they also completed 29 of 45 passes for 259 yards as they held onto the ball for 34:56.

LB Jared Mayo (6 tackles) and NT Vince Wilfork (5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) led the way for the Patriots’ D in this game.  The Jets finished up with 120 yards rushing on 29 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 25 passes for 194 yards.  The Patriots season ends with a bitter thud as the Jets talked trash all week and they then backed it up.
