“I’m not going to lie, I remember what happened, but at the end of the day I know we’re better than them ,” receiver Braylon Edwards said.
“We’ve been wanting the Patriots for a while now . . . ever since that [loss],” tight end Dustin Keller said. “It’s our chance to get back [at them]. They gave us a bad beating the last time we played them, but we’re not that same team anymore.
“We’re playing pretty good football. We’re very confident going into this game. Obviously, last time we didn’t give close to our best effort. You have to go through New England to get to the Super Bowl. And that’s our ultimate goal.”
Defensive end Shaun Ellis agreed with Keller, saying the Jets were not themselves in that last meeting against New England.
