New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/1042177/series-history-patriots-vs-jets.html A few Pats-Jets Nuggets of Note, courtesy of the New England Patriots Media Department: The Patriots, who fell to the Jets at the Meadowlands, 16-9, on Sept. 20, have not been swept in a season series with a divisional opponent since 2000. New England owns a 41-12 (.774) record in regular season AFC East games since the beginning of the 2001 season, compiling the best intra-division record of any team in the NFL over the last eight seasons. Since the beginning of the 2003 season, the Patriots are 20-1 (.952) in games following a regular-season loss, including a 2-0 record in such games this season. Over the last five-plus seasons (2003-09), the Patriots have only lost back-to-back games on one occasion (Nov.5 and Nov. 12, 2006). May all of the holes appear this big to Laurence Maroney on Sunday. STRONG IN THE SECOND HALF The Patriots have traditionally stepped things up a notch as the calendar has flipped to November. Since 2001, New England has done a remarkable job of finishing the season strong, compiling a 71-18 (.798) record after Nov. 1, including playoff games. Additionally, since 2001, the Patriots are 52-10 (.839) in games played after Thanksgiving Day and are 23-4 (.852) in games played after Christmas. SERIES HISTORY The Patriots and Jets will meet for the second time in 2009, with the Patriots looking to avenge the 16-9 loss in Week 2 at the Meadowlands. It will be the 101st meeting since the series between the AFC East rivals began in 1960. The Jets are leading the all-time series with a 50-49-1 advantage. The teams split the season series last season with the Patriots beating the Jets, 19-10, at the Meadowlands and the Jets beating the Patriots, 34-31, in overtime at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots have won 11 of their last 14 games against the Jets (including one playoff game). The Patriots have swept the season series with the Jets in four of the last six seasons. New England is 20-12 against the Jets since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994. New England's 49 victories over the Jets (including two playoff wins) are the second most over any single opponent, trailing only Buffalo with 59 all-time wins. Tully Banta-Cain will hopefully be back to his quarterback-sacking ways soon. SERIES BREAKDOWN NEW YORK 50, New England 49, 1 Tie (Including New England 2, New York 0 in Playoffs) Home Record, 25-24-1 (incl. 1-0 in playoffs) - Record in Foxborough, 21-18 - Gillette Stadium, 5-3 - Foxboro Stadium, 16-15 - Record in Boston, 4-5-1 - Record in Birmingham, Alabama, 0-1 Away Record, 24-26 (incl. 1-0 in playoffs) - Giants Stadium, 17-10 (incl. 1-0 playoffs) - Shea Stadium, 5-14 - Polo Grounds, 2-2 Seasonal Sweeps, Jets 14 (most recent '00), Patriots 13 ('07) Bill Belichick vs. N.Y. Jets, 14-8 (13-7 with New England) DIVISIONAL DOMINANCE The New England Patriots own a 41-12 (.774) record in regular season AFC East games since the beginning of the 2001 season, compiling the best intra-division record of any team in the NFL over the last eight seasons. RECENT PATRIOTS-JETS GAMES The Patriots and Jets have played 18 times since 2001, with New England holding a 13-5 advantage in those games. Since 2003, the Patriots are 11-3 against the Jets and have allowed New York to score more than 17 points in a game just two times over that span. PASSING PERFORMANCES Tom Brady owns a 12-3 record against the Jets as a starting quarterback including regular-season and playoff games. Brady's 12 overall victories over the Jets are his second highest total over a single opponent, trailing only his 14 wins over the Buffalo Bills. <!--Session data--> New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/1041373/robert-krafts-footbridge-gets-goahead-boston-herald.html Boston GlobeRobert Kraft's footbridge gets go-aheadBoston HeraldNew England Patriots [team stats] owner Robert Kraft will get his pedestrian bridge connecting Gillette Stadium with a potential office ...Mass. panel oks $9 million for Patriots footbridgeThe Associated Press$9m in stimulus funds approved for footbridge near Gillette StadiumBoston GlobeTown, state back $9m bridgeFoxboro Reporterall 141 news articles » New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/1041372/patsjets-rematch-has-different-look-than-1st-game.html The New England Patriots are determined to bounce back from their big loss.
