A Jets&#39; victory over the Patriots would have made them the talk of the NFL. Now, until they defeat one of the NFL&#39;s elite, they might be viewed as paper tigers for a while - especially

This game may not define or validate a season &#151; no, the Jets and Steelers seem long past that. The mere presence of soon-to-be 13,000-yard rushers Curtis Martin and Jerome Bettis could make Sunday a special occasion, but then the very teams themselves ensure that.

Our very own Judy Battista reports in todayâs paper that the Patriots could land in hot water for apparently videotaping the Jetsâ defensive signals during Sundayâs game â which the Pats won, 38-14, by the way.

For at least one game, the pass-happy St. Louis Rams relied on the running game.
