Outfoxed at Foxboro?

According to the New York Jets players, it was Rex Ryan who was the Guru, not Bill Bellicheck yesterday. Players talked about Ryan drawing up some mad schemes to confuse the Patriots in their 28-21 win. One player even said some of the plays were Madden-like-- flooding zones, disguising defenses and keeping Tom Brady guessing.
