‘Revis Island’ a busy stop in Jets-Patriots game

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Darrelle Revis knew exactly how this game was going to go. He had been on the Jets' end of enough of these rivalry games against the Patriots plenty of times.

He disregarded the Jets' 1-5 record entering the game.

"We knew this game was probably going to be close and come down to this,'' Revis, the former Jets cornerback now playing for the Patriots, said after New England survived a 27-25 win Thursday night at Gillette Stadium.

"That's what rivalries are; it doesn't really matter what the records are,'' Revis said. "This is a historical rivalry. It's been going on for years and years and it will continue. You never know what you're going to get in these games.''

What Revis got — perhaps to his surprise — was some balls thrown his way. "Revis Island'' was a little busier than it usually is.

The highlight play against him was a 24-yard Geno Smith pass over Revis to receiver Eric Decker on the Jets' second offensive possession, leading to their second field goal.

"Great throw by Geno Smith,'' Revis said. "I undercut it, and it [Smith] had thrown it any other way it was going to be going the other way, because I was on it like a hawk. Great throw. I've got to give credit to them executing that pay. Great throw. Great catch by Decker.

"I was there. Sometimes, it's a game of inches. [Smith] threw it right at the out of bounds line. It was that close.''

Later in the game, on a fourth-quarter Jets possession with Gang Green trailing 20-19, Revis made a key third-down breakup of a Smith pass attempt to Decker. On the play, Decker tried to fake Revis into thinking it was same play on which he had been beaten earlier.

Instead of taking his route deeper, though, Decker stayed in the middle of the field and Revis tipped the pass away from him on third-and-four, forcing the Jets to punt the ball away to the Patriots, who scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession to go up 27-19.

"I broke it up playing my leverage,'' Revis said of the fourth-quarter Decker play. "They ran a 'seven route' earlier and [Decker] ran a 'seven stop' that time and tried to get me going up the field. I just stuck my hands in there and made a play.''
