I thought this one would be tight. I thought wrong. And if the Jets are going to have any chance of making this even remotely interesting, Rex Ryan's gonna have to yank a positively spooked Mark Sanchez.

Since the only way to analyze this half is that one team looks a lot better than the other, here are a few quick hits from the first half ...

* Vince Wilfork has been absolutely dominant in the middle of the defense, and is the key to the Patriots' shutdown of the Jets' running, which has put the ball in Sanchez's hands, which is a decidedly good thing for the home team. While Wilfork's most impressive play has come at the nose, his best single play may have been at left end.

On the play, Brad Smith lined up in the pistol and ran a speed option right with Shonn Greene as his pitchman. Wilfork's assignment was to take out the pitchman, and that he did. A pretty impressive play in space by a 325-pound monster.

* If you have two eyes, and no bias, you'd say that Darrelle Revis has gotten the better of Randy Moss. Again. And it's not that close. On many snaps, Revis stood over the ball pre-snap, and followed Moss out of the huddle. Moss has four catches for 21 yards.

The one you have to give him credit for -- good work with his hands to get just enough separation for a 4-yard touchdown. But outside of that, it's been all Revis, who's proving once again to be among the very elite at his position.
