CB Darius Butler: Butler was beaten for a touchdown and two-point conversion by Braylon Edwards, and was targeted repeatedly by Mark Sanchez. His frustration boiled over in a couple of pass-interference penalties in the fourth quarter, totaling 39 yards. Many expected a second-year breakout for Butler, but it hasn't come through two weeks.

K Stephen Gostkowski: The kicker missed a very makable 37-yard field goal, after his 32-yarder was negated by a delay-of-game penalty, and that mitigated some of the damage the Patriots did to the Jets early on in the game. Gostkowski's now 1-of-4 on field goals on the year.
