With snow covering the field and flurries swirling throughout Gillette Stadium, Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals to help the New York Jets (7-10) earn their first victory over the New England Patriots since an overtime win on Dec. 27, 2015.

Breece Hall rushed for 174 yards and a late touchdown and the Jets snapped a 15-game losing streak against the Patriots with a 17-3 win Sunday in what could have been Belichick’s final game with the franchise for which he hoisted six Lombardi trophies.

Bill Belichick says he put everything he had into this season and still enjoys coaching.

But following the end to his most tenuous season as an NFL coach, it remained very much unclear whether he’ll ever do it again for the Patriots.

“A disappointing year for all of us — players, coaches, staffers, the entire organization,” Belichick said through a scratchy voice after fighting a cold this week. 

“That’s all I have to say about that right now, because that’s all there is to talk about.”

The game was the Jets’ first win in New England since the 2010 AFC divisional playoff round. It was also New York’s first regular-season road win against the Patriots since 2008.

World Wrestling Entertainment reportedly released several wrestlers shortly after its announced $1.4 billion new television deal with NBCUniversal.

TKO Group Holdings, the media conglomerate launched as part of WWE’s merger with the parent company of the UFC, reportedly agreed to a five-year domestic media rights partnership with NBCUniversal, with its television program, SmackDown, set to return to USA Network. 

The deal, which does not include WWE’s RAW or NXT programs that currently air on USA Network, is reported to pay an average of $287 million per year, an estimated 40% increase from the five-year, $205 million deal with FOX for SmackDown.

Shortly after the reported deal, the releases of several notable in-ring competitors was announced.

Former world champion Dolph Ziggler and former Intercontinental champion Shelton Benjamin were among several of those released, along with Emma, Rick Boogs, Aliyah, Elias, Riddick Moss and Top Dolla of the group ‘Hit Row.’

Tyrod Taylor has thrown some unbelievable deep passes the past two weeks, including Sunday afternoon against the Rams.

But the easiest throw he may ever have as a pro — well, that may have very well cost the Giants an upset victory.

A stunning 94-yard punt return for a touchdown by Gunner Olszewski pulled the Giants within striking distance and, after a penalty on the point-after kick by the Rams, Brian Daboll decided to go for the lead.

The Giants had a perfect play call, too, and Saquon Barkley raced through a crowd at the line of scrimmage and broke open with no one in front of him at the goal line. But Taylor misfired badly, throwing behind Barkley as the conversion failed, leaving the Giants’ quarterback despondent and MetLife Stadium in disbelief yet again.

Final score: Rams 26, Giants 25.

Joe Flacco threw for 309 yards with three touchdowns and a single interception Thursday in a 37-20 Cleveland win over the New York Jets. 

The win was the fourth straight for the Browns, who improved 4-1 with Flacco at quarterback. They improved to 11-5 to secure their spot in the postseason.

In a game that featured two of the top defenses in the league, the offenses exploded for 51 points in the first half. Both clubs put together quick opening-drive touchdowns, but it was the Browns that kept up a more prolific scoring pace.

Things did cool down in the second half as neither team was able to add to their total in the third quarter and managed just a field goal apiece in the fourth. 

Flacco finished his night 19 of 29, while Jets QB Trevor Siemian was 32 of 45 for 262 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
