There was a common theme from Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo and his top assistants, Alex Van Pelt and DeMarcus Covington, in the aftermath of the 24-3 beatdown they took from the New York Jets on Thursday.

The film agreed. Thursday’s’ 24-3 loss to the Jets was more than a manhandling or an embarrassment. It was a cartoonish brawl spinning end zone to end zone, players rolling in a cloud, fists sticking out and the same loser seeing stars at the end of virtually every drive: the Patriots.

The New York Jets got after it against the New England Patriots and ended up winning 24-3 on Thursday during the NFL’s Week 3 slate. But who exactly were the ones on the field for the Jets (2-1) doing all the dirty work against the Patriots (1-2)?
