The Patriots’ 54-13 rout of the Jets Sunday wasn’t just a rout. It was a message delivered.
A few messages, really. The ones we deciphered:
Belichick can never hang enough points on the Jets, who disparaged his mental well-being when he quit as HC of the NYJ before ever coaching a game. The Patriots became the first team to score 50 points in a game this season.
Jets coach Robert Saleh probably shouldn’t have celebrated so aggressively after the Niners thumped the Patriots last season while he was the defensive coordinator.
