You’ve got to wonder what Jim Nantz was watching during the Patriots’ victory over the New York Jets yesterday. In some alternate universe Nantz watched the Jets pull off “a stunner. The biggest underdog of the day in the league.”

At the end of the game in overtime, Mark Sanchez fumbled the ball and it was reviewed by the referees. At this point, the Pats were up 29-26 thanks to a clutch kick by Stephen Gostkowski and if the ruling stood, the Pats would secure a victory. Referee Jeff Triplette came to midfield, told the New England faithful the play stands, and the crowd roared with both joy and relief. It made no difference to Nantz, however, as he continues to comment “The New York Jets stand alone in first place now…The New England Patriots, I should say.”

I suppose it’s an understandable mistake, him having the score undoubtedly right in front of him and all. Come on. I was listening to the game on the radio while driving home, and despite the fact that football sucks via radio and I had to focus on the rules of the road, I still knew who won and how they won the game. Just a heads up Jim, the Pats are in London next week.

Despite a victory in Foxborough yesterday, the Patriots still have some holes to fill. Coming into the game as a 10-point favorite the Pats barely snuck out a victory, relying on something that shot the franchise into the upper echelon of sports: a kicker with ice in his veins. Brings me back to the Vinatieri days.

Tom Brady was 26/42 for 259 yards and 2 TDs to Rob Gronkowski, who finished the game with 6 catches for an additional 78 yards. A big highlight came from Devin McCourty who returned a kickoff for a 104-yard score, though he did fumble another one later on. The defense continues to take one step forward and two steps back, allowing Mark Sanchez to put up 328 yards and a TD, though Rob Ninkovich and Jerod Mayo both forced fumbles and Vince Wilfork was his usual run-stuffing self. The Pats take on the the 3-4 Rams in London next week. The Rams are giving up an average of 226 passing yards per game, which means Tom Terrific will throw for about a million (just kidding, Jim Nantz).
