"The Patriots defense made Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez look like the rookie he is in yesterday's 31-14 romp at Gillette Stadium, picking the first-year signal-caller off four times.

Cornerback Leigh Bodden tied a team record with three picks, none bigger than his first of the day, which he returned 53 yards to give the Pats a quick 7-0 advantage.

On third-and-8 from the Jets 46, Sanchez took the snap in the shotgun and locked in exclusively on wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who was 7 yards downfield in the left flat."
