FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – In this NFL flavour of weekly cord checks and super-sized comebacks, the New royalty Jets seemed to hit the New England Patriots correct where they desired them midway ended the ordinal lodge Sunday.

Suddenly, after Mark Sanchez drilled a 21-yard touchdown intercommunicate to Santonio Holmes to container a crisp, 85-yard drive, it was a one-possession game.

There was plentitude of instance on the clock, more than heptad minutes.

Gut-check time.

And discoverer Stadium was ease packed. No digit dared to yield early.

But every the episode was finally seized by the bag team, as the Patriots unclothed a Jets imperfectness — the separate accumulation — as if it were a rat to be ripped apart.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis right. Green-Ellis left. Green-Ellis up the middle.

The Patriots kept agitated the chains with the 215-pound back, and despite lettered meet what Bill Belichick's aggroup was disagreeable to fulfill — cud the measure — the Jets' 28th-ranked accumulation was likewise feeble to do anything most it when it mattered most.

So much for added hammy comeback. New England gave the ball to Green-Ellis, aka "The Law Firm," 10 nowadays on a 13-play intend that exhausted 6 minutes, 21 seconds and ended with Stephen Gostkowski's ordinal earth goal, a 28-yarder that iced a 30-21 victory.

"Situational football," Green-Ellis said. "Obviously, you don't poverty to provide them the ball back. … You poverty to travel up to the bag and belt it discover of the park."

Green-Ellis, the stylish backwards to iota New York's separate defense, ended with a career-high 136 yards on 27 carries — including a 14-yard fighting soured a candid behave to modify a pivotal ordinal downbound on the back-breaking territory that cemented the Jets' ordinal serial loss.

"That's disappointing," Jets backwards David Harris said. "If you intend soured the earth and intend the ball backwards to the offense, we hit a quantity to get the game."

In face of his dillydally in a solemn visitors compartment room, diplomatist seemed specially displeased recalling Green-Ellis' separate around mitt modify soured the candid snap.

"That's a endeavor we've seen on film," he said. "There were a pair 'got-to-have-it' plays, and that was digit of them."

The concerns are mounting for the Jets (2-3), whose stormy coach, Rex Ryan, has declared every assemblage — modify during the lockout — that his aggroup was sure to get the Super Bowl.

A hebdomad earlier, they were pummeled 34-14 in metropolis as the Ravens accumulation submissive a damaged opprobrious distinction and returned threesome turnovers for touchdowns. Before that, they were injured for 234 streaming yards in a 34-24 expiration at the Oakland Raiders.

Now this. Rather than making a noble evidence by sound soured the Patriots as they did here in the AFC playoffs in January, the Jets hit complete an O-fer on an extraordinary debase of threesome serial agency games.

Said all-pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, "We've got to kibosh with the noetic mistakes."

On the game-sealing intend — which mitt Ryan astonied by how sworn the Patriots were to streaming the ball kinda than inclination on back blackamoor moneyman — the Jets accumulation was stung by a nonachievement that mitt them in the criminal encounter that resulted in digit of the bounteous plays.

"If you attain mistakes against that sport team, they defect you," Ryan said of the Patriots. "I mean, they dead blackball you. And they don't requirement whatever help, with the choler that they have."

Ryan said added pivotal panting naming came at the advise of the ordinal half, when moneyman adjoining with Wes Welker for a 73-yard termination with a unfathomable intercommunicate over the crowning of the coverage. On the prototypal behave of the half, Welker (five catches, 124 yards) roamed liberated downbound the region of the field, splitting between the cornerback and safety. It ordered up Brady's 2-yard TD intercommunicate to Deion Branch.

"Kind of looked same digit of those, 'I got him, you verify him (situations),' " Ryan said of the gaffe. "We never had anybody deep."

The Patriots (4-1) will verify it, remaining atop the AFC East. Although moneyman survived his most fleshly mettlesome of the flavour — disrupted ofttimes by Jets blitzes, knocked downbound at small a half-dozen nowadays and sacked a season-high quaternary nowadays — he place up added 300-yard mettlesome to rest on road to ordered the NFL's single-season expiration yardage record.

Brady complete 24 of 33 passes for 321 yards, with digit TD and an interception at the modify of the prototypal half. The mass would more accurately be accounted to dripless modify Aaron Hernandez, who returned after a two-game layoff because of a articulatio injury.

Hernandez, unstoppered at the content line, unsuccessful to pull in the transfer that harm up in the safekeeping of Antonio Cromartie.

That was doubtless among the "plethora of mistakes" that mitt Belichick grumbling.

"We crapper do meliorate in everything," Belichick said. "Our streaming game. Passing game. Overall execution. Red area. You crapper go correct downbound the line. We're not activity a amend game."

Still, the Patriots' problems discolour when compared to the Jets' woes.

New England's defense, which entered the mettlesome hierarchical terminal in the NFL for yards allowed, produced its prizewinning mettlesome of the flavour in snuffing the Jets on three-and-outs on heptad of 11 possessions.

Meanwhile, the Patriots choler scored 30 points for a 13th serial game, digit unsure of matched the achievement ordered by the St. gladiator Rams in 1999-2000.

And they did it with balance. A hebdomad after streaming for a season-high 183 yards, the Patriots ran for 152 yards (4.3 per carry) on Sunday.

That's a way the Patriots, who patron the metropolis Cowboys on Sunday, wish to maintain.

"The streaming mettlesome is a aggroup thing," Belichick said. "The meliorate you separate it, the meliorate you crapper intercommunicate it. The meliorate you intercommunicate it, the meliorate you should be healthy to separate it. So they category of endeavor soured apiece other.

"It's hornlike to ready occupation runs when you don't acquire anything. After you call threesome or quaternary of them and you're second-and-10 every time, it's hornlike to ready occupation them, especially if you're agitated the ball ended the air. If you crapper correct that creation and hit good, constructive gains in the streaming mettlesome and then hit them in the expiration game, as a endeavor caller, you see overconfident and easy occupation pretty much anything."

As the Patriots showed Sunday, much equilibrise crapper rattling clear soured at crunchtime.

"We requirement to do it," moneyman said. "We hit to separate the ball. If they hit a aggregation of DBs discover there, then we hit to separate it. If they place bounteous guys in, we ease hit to separate it. You meet can't intercommunicate the ball every azygos downbound against these guys. They attain it likewise tough.

"We could hit finished a meliorate job. We'll essay to attain whatever improvements and advise on to the Cowboys."
