Game of the Week: NFL Jets 16-9 win over the Patriots
With trash talk from Jets' coach Rex Ryan coupled with a response from Tom Brady, everybody knew Sunday's game between the AFC North rivals was going to be a heated battle.
With a defensive showcase from both teams in the first half, and a bit of an offensive surge from the rookie QB Mark Sanchez, the Jets pulled out a win at home handing Patriots coach Bill Belichick only his second loss to a team starting a rookie QB.
The Jets' victory over the Patriots is the first time they've beaten the Patriots at the Meadowlands since 2000.

The Cougars came into the weekend on top of the world. They had upended then-No. 3 Oklahoma in week one, put a 54-3 beat down on Tulane in week two and had garnered a No. 7 ranking in the AP Top-25 poll.
Then they suffered a beat down of their own. The Seminoles forced five turnovers and returned an interception 67 yards for a touchdown to start out the second half en route to their win.
