The New York Jets trafficked in hyperbole all week, lobbing insults at New England, even threats. Sometimes it seemed as if they were convincing themselves they stood a chance.

By Sunday evening, the script had changed. By Sunday evening, it seemed the Jets had known all week what everyone else missed. In a game few expected them to win, in the same stadium where they were humiliated a month ago, the Jets bullied the Patriots, battered Tom Brady and advanced to the AFC championship game with a 28-21 victory at Gillette Stadium.

With a second-year coach in Rex Ryan and a second-year quarterback in Mark Sanchez, the Jets advanced to their second consecutive conference championship game. They will travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers Sunday at Heinz Field, on the same field where they beat the Steelers Dec. 19.

For the Jets, it will be their second consecutive appearance in the title game. Last year, they lost at Indianapolis, 30-17, after leading at halftime.

"Moving on," Ryan said, "same old Jets, going to the AFC championship game, two years in a row."......................
