Patriots vs. Jets 2013, Week 7: Live coverage, score updates and more

• Peyton can’t stay perfect, Colts stay lucky

• NFL Debrief: Backup quarterbacks and legends

Bill Belichick is a strong-willed man who has rarely had to admit he was wrong during his nearly 40 years as an NFL coach -- in part because he rarely is. On Monday, however, Belichick was finally able to say he made a mistake, admitting that he did not properly coach his players on the rule change that prohibits a defensive player from pushing a teammate into an offensive formation, according to Tom Curran of CSN New England.

Teams are no longer allowed to push players when they’re stacked up on field goal and punt formations.

Take a look:

Brady was sacked four times in the loss and never seemed to get in rhythm. Deep passing opportunities evaporated when he was under pressure, with his longest pass coming on a 30-yard reception by Gronkowski early in the game.

Typically two rushing touchdowns and a pick-six would be enough to give the Patriots an easy victory, but not so on Sunday as Brady’s lone turnover resulted in a touchdown for New York that was too much to overcome on the back of several other miscues, including an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to set up the game-winning field goal.

For the second week in a row the Patriots are going down to the wire in a game. The odds would seem to favor New England, but it’s got nothing to do with Tom Brady’s golden arm. The real secret to the Patriots’ success is ...

... Robert Kraft’s magic cufflinks.

This marks the first time in the 2013 season that Gronkowski is active after undergoing multiple surgeries in the offseason for back and forearm injuries. Gronkowski was patient in his recovery, not wanting to rush back into action after last season. He’s reportedly been practicing at a high level for weeks.

The Jets will be without top wide receiver Santonio Holmes, who is still nursing a hamstring injury.
