Rex Ryan Spins Pregame Bluster Into Stellar Jets Performance

Filed under: , ,

Rex RyanFOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The web of deception that Rex Ryan began spinning well before the Jets reintroduced themselves to the Patriots here on Sunday night was thick with several peaks.

Ryan all week had induced banter about whether he would outcoach Bill Belichick. About how this was personal. He toiled defending cornerback Antonio Cromartie, while continuing to nip at quarterback Tom Brady. Ryan kept the circus energized. The fluff puffed.

Behind the scenes, Ryan was tinkering with and retooling his defense. He was hoping by kickoff Sunday that the Patriots would continue to see red when they saw Jets green and invoke awkward execution. Ryan was massaging his team, stoking fires inside, pruning his Jets for this big moment, this big stage.

They rolled into Gillette Stadium and spun the Patriots completely around, then upside down, 28-21.

This victory for the Jets, which vaults them into their second straight AFC championship game, was a testament to Ryan's bodacious style and sly coaching.
