Bill Belichick vs Robert Saleh

One defining characteristic of this rivalry has been the Patriots’ undeniable dominance over the Jets, especially in the Tom Brady era. Entering the 2019 season, the Patriots had consistently triumphed, with their last regular-season loss to the Jets dating back to December 27, 2015. Even that rare defeat required overtime to break the Brady-led Patriots’ stranglehold. Extra time was also needed in two of the Jets’ most recent victories against the Patriots in 2013 and 2015. However, the last regulation loss the Patriots endured against the Jets was in the AFC Divisional Round during the 2010 season, a testament to Brady’s prowess against the Jets.

This storied rivalry has its origins in the American Football League (AFL), with both the Patriots and Jets as charter members when the league kicked off in 1960. Over the years, it has evolved into a competition characterized by streaks rather than evenly balanced stretches of games.

The Patriots-Jets Rivalry

The rivalry hasn’t solely been about players battling on the field; coaching connections have also played a significant role. Bill Belichick, now synonymous with the Patriots’ success, had a brief stint with the Jets. Moreover, Bill Parcells, who would later become the Patriots’ head coach, initially left New England for the Jets. Although both Belichick and Parcells had relatively short tenures with the Jets, their involvement in this rivalry added layers of drama and intrigue.

The 1999 season provided a dose of early-season drama as the Jets lost their starting quarterback, Vinny Testaverde, and replaced him with former Patriots punter Tom Tupa. In a pivotal matchup, the Patriots overcame a halftime deficit to secure a win, holding off a last-minute surge by the Jets’ Rick Mirer.

One of the most memorable chapters in this rivalry unfolded during the 2010 AFC Divisional Round in New England. Mark Sanchez, the Jets’ quarterback, outperformed Tom Brady on that fateful day. Sanchez’s three crucial touchdowns helped the Jets secure an upset victory. The Jets’ relentless pass rush, sacking Brady five times, disrupted the Patriots’ offensive rhythm.

Arguably the most infamous moment in this rivalry, and one that continues to spark discussions, occurred on November 22, 2012. Mark Sanchez’s unforgettable “butt fumble” incident, where he collided with his lineman’s backside, led to a fumble that the Patriots capitalized on, returning it for a touchdown. This comical yet embarrassing moment remains etched in NFL history.

One of the darkest moments for the Jets in this rivalry came when Bill Belichick, then the Jets’ head coach, accepted the role but resigned just one day later. The Jets endured a double whammy as they witnessed Belichick transform into one of the greatest head coaches in NFL history with the Patriots, right up the coast in New England.

The Jets-Patriots rivalry has seen several notable players switch sides, adding intrigue to the matchups. Names like Keith Byars, Bryan Cox, Ty Law, Curtis Martin, and Darrelle Revis have graced both teams. Furthermore, when it comes to legendary quarterbacks, Joe Namath stands as the Jets’ iconic figure, while Tom Brady’s enduring legacy includes six Super Bowl titles with the Patriots.
