Bill Belichick won the coin flip and lost the game.<br />Eric Decker’s 6-yard touchdown catch from Ryan Fitzpatrick on the first drive of overtime – after New England chose to kick off – lifted the Jets to a 26-20 victory Sunday that put New York in position to make the playoffs.<br />“I thought it was the best thing to do,” said Belichick, whose team failed to lock up the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC playoffs.<br />Before the Patriots went out to midfield for the toss, Belichick told his players that if his team won the toss, the Patriots would kick off.<br />New York used a career-long 48-yard reception by Quincy Enunwa and a 20-yard pass to Marshall to move into scoring position.<br />And then, Fitzpatrick hit Decker on a fade behind Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler for New York’s fifth straight victory.<br />Marshall had two touchdown catches and also became the first NFL player with 100 receptions in six seasons.
