Pats Lose to Jets 34-31 in OT Thriller - Sick Game!

It sucks to see the Pats lose but I have to admit that it was one of the best games of the season regardless of the outcome.  The Pats looked a little sluggish in the first half and it looked like the Jets might pull away early.  They just seemed to be the superior team at that time and went into halftime with a 24-13 lead.

The Pats definitely put it together in the second half and more specifically in the 4th quarter.  Cassel specifically looked really good.  He threw for 400 yards and 3 TD's and rushed for 62 yds.  It turns out that he is the only QB in NFL history to do that which is incredible!  Welker looked really solid as well with 7 receptions, 108 yds and a ton of big catches on third down or for much needed first downs.  Moss was getting worked all game long and was having trouble getting open.  Cassel missed him on a wide open bomb but overthrew him by a few yards.  That might have been a game changer right there.

The 4th quarter was insane as the Pats kept playing great D and got it done when really needed on offense.  Cassel looks like he is really comfortable right now and he is starting to show his athleticism with his running and ability to avoid the rush and still get off some solid passes. The best play of the game was by far the pass to Moss for the TD with 1 second left to put the game into OT.  Unfortunately the Pats lost the coin flip and just couldn't stop the Jets enough to keep them out of field goal range.  Favre had another great game and showed everyone that he still has the ability to lead a team down the field for a winning drive.  That's why the Jets picked him up and it's starting to pay off as they take over first place in the AFC East.  It sucks that the Pats lost but if it's going to happen at least it was exciting.
