Despite being NFC, this loss could be dangerous to New England, as this is a team everyone in the AFC East plays, and the Jets have already beaten Green Bay, who beat New England.

They both beat Cleveland and Pittsburgh, but the Pats lost to the fins once and the Jets beat them. The common games tiebreaker supersedes conference record in divisional games. Right now the Jets are 4-1 to NE's 2-3. All they have to do is go 1-2 against the Lions, Bears, and Vikings to gain even more ground, since the Pats are already 1-3 in that division, and the Jets are 1-0. To gain a game back, the Pats would have to beat the Bengals.

NE is in a lot of trouble if they lose to the Jets next week and drop to 3-5 and the Fins take care of business the next couple of weeks, which will also give them a dominating tiebreaker situation.
