Coin toss madness gifts Jets unbelievable OT win over Pats

The Jets finally caught a break against the Patriots.

A bizarre decision by the Patriots — which was unclear whether it was intentional or a miscommunication — to start overtime set up the Jets winning touchdown in the Jets 26-20 win at MetLife Stadium.

Given the ball to start OT, the Jets marched down the field, and Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Eric Decker for a 6- yard score for the team’s fifth straight win.

The victory helped keep the Jets playoff hopes alive.

The winning score was set up by a 48-yard completion to Quincy Enunwa to the Patriots 30.
