The New York Jets went into Foxborough Sunday and knocked the Patriots out of their own building. After plenty of talk between both teams during the week leading up to the game, are you surprised the Jets walked the walk and are headed to the AFC Championship Game?

Jacob: I was shocked. I thought the Patriots were a lock to beat the Jets. They not only ran the Jets out of town in their 45-3 beatdown in Week 13, but they also came into the game on an eight-game winning streak, while the Jets had lost three of their last five to finish the regular season before narrowly beating the Colts in the playoffs.

Jacqui: I’m not surprised the Jets beat the Patriots. I don’t personally care, but hey, it happened. The Patriots said themselves that they had an awful second half and we all saw that.

Justin: Rex Ryan’s “taking things personally” strategy somehow lifted the Jets past Peyton Manning and then the No. 1-seeded team in the AFC. Don’t stop now. Declare a personal vendetta on the entire city of Pittsburgh for the Jets’ 37-7 loss to the Steelers in 1983 and Rex may win tickets to Arlington, Texas.
