FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – The New England Patriots know a lot about the teams playing for a berth in the Super Bowl. They beat all four of them during the regular season.
Once the postseason starts, though, the Patriots don’t stick around very long. At least not anymore.
They were thoroughly outplayed for the second straight year in the playoffs on Sunday, losing to the New York Jets, 28-21, one year after falling to the Baltimore Ravens, 33-14. And both games were at home where Tom Brady’s streak of 28 wins – and counting – as a regular-season starter is an NFL record.
New England finished at 14-3 overall. The Patriots regrouped after being stunned by the Cleveland Browns, 34-14, and won their last eight regular-season games. But in the playoffs, there’s no chance to come back from a loss.
