In a far corner of a quiet, seething Jets locker room after the Patriots
beat them yet again — this time a maddening 30-23 decision Sunday at
Gillette Stadium — Jets linebacker Trevor Reilly sat on his locker stool
combing over a stat book that confirmed what everyone already knew: An
eighth New England win over the Jets in the past nine meetings. “They
had 16 yards rushing, 355 yards passing on 54 attempts … 6 yards per
pass,’’ Reilly read to fellow linebacker Calvin Pace, who was dressing
slowly in the next locker stall. There was a “what-could-have-been’’
lament to Reilly’s tone. This being his first season as a Jet it was
Reilly’s first Jets-Patriots experience, so he does not have the scar
tissue from the New England dominance of this AFC East rivalry that has
been decidedly one-sided for more than a decade.
