Jets No. 3 QB Kevin O'Connell was named team captain for Sunday's game after he prepped the coaching staff on Patriots offensive tendencies.
O'Connell, released by the Pats in late August, was "passed around from coach to coach" the past week in an effort to gain as much inside information as possible. He was especially influential in breaking down the Patriots' tendencies against Rex Ryan's blitz packages, which had Tom Brady on the run all game. The Jets' tactic is sure to fan the flames of the rivalry.
