...much of the night, the game lacked the fervor and excitement of Parcells' return to Foxboro last year, a 27-24 overtime victory for the Patriots. It had all the elements for a classic: eight former Patriots in Jets uniforms; a New England team and coach seeking to put aside the shadow of the highly publicized former coach; a Monday night audience; New York fighting to stay alive in the AFC East against the first-place team...
