Tom Brady had a poor game. He was intrercepted & took too many sacks.
The defensive line had a poor game. Other than Vince Wilfork stuffing the middle, both defensive ends gave up big running plays.
Special teams play was poor. Patrick Cheung fumbled a trick punt play. The Jets were given good field position on runbacks due to poor coverage of kick-offs & punts throughout the game.
Like other tops seeds, the Patriots were not sharp & they paid the price. Maybe having a bye week is not such a good thing. Both Atlanta & New England - the #1 seeds - are done.
As a player, there is nothing worse than having a bad day during a playoff game. It happens & it's not fun to carry around during the off-season.
The Patriots may have peaked too early this season.

You forgot the offensive line. TOO OFTEN a 3 man rush was able to get to Brady. This produced some sacks and many hurries.
