Here's the Myth: No team that has lost to the Jets during the regular season has gone on to win that year's Super Bowl.The Truth: In 2001 the Jets defeated the Patriots 10-3 and in the process destroyed Drew Bledsoe's career. Tom Brady took the helm, led the Pats to an 11-5 record, including a win in the rematch with the Jets, and eventually the Super Bowl title.
Rewording the Myth: No Team Has Ever had a losing record against the Jets and went on to win the Super Bowl. Or If you played the Jets in the regular season and did not beat them, than you aren't winning the Super Bowl.
