The New England Patriots did not bring their best stuff in Week 11 against the New York Jets. Yes, they escaped with a two-score victory on Thursday Night Football, which is always ugly, but they surely weren't as sharp as head coach Mike Vrabel would have liked.
Still, there is hardly anything to complain about in Foxborough. The Patriots are an incredible 9-2, which not only puts them atop the AFC East by 1.5 games but has them currently slotted in as the No. 2 team in the entire conference.
The same cannot be said about their divisional foes, however.
