Jets Vs. Patriots: New England Reclaims Spot Atop Division, Possibly League, With 45-3 Decimation Of Jets

That about sums up Mark Sanchez' evening.

The Sanchize was anything but in the second half tonight against the Patriots. He three three picks, all of which were converted into touchdowns just plays later, en route to New England's 45-3 humiliation of their divisional rivals.

Both teams entered the highly anticipated tilt with identical records but left Gillette Stadium in decidedly different fashion, as the Patriots (10-2) outgained their division rival, 405-301, and appeared to score at will.

Tom Brady sliced up the Jets' secondary to the tune of 326 yards and four touchdowns and became the first starting quarterback to win 26 consecutive regular season games at home. He finished the game with four touchdown passes.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for two scores, while Danny Woodhead, who failed to make New York's roster out of training camp, amassed 104 yards on four catches against his former team.

For their performance, the Jets received the very worst insult any Jets’ team can receive, courtesy of Gang Green Nation:

This team looked like it was coached by Rich Kotite.The Patriots are now in control of the AFC and have the inside track on home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Jets remain in the thick of things and are currently the top Wild Card team. A lot could change over the next couple weeks but if tonight was any indication, the Patriots are the Patriots again anJd the Jets are, well, not.
