New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan is feeling the pressure after a sixth consecutive loss. 

Ryan wasn't pleased after the Jets dropped a 27-25 decision to the New England Patriots in agonizing fashion Thursday.

"It’s really frustrating. You're playing your first divisional game," Ryan said to reporters after the loss. "You’re trying to beat them at their place, and this is the third time in a row I thought we were good enough to beat them here, and we come away with a loss.”

Nick Folk's 58-yard, last-second field goal was blocked, preserving a two-point victory for the Patriots.

"I’m a little upset," Ryan said. "Our record is what it is. I’m not shell-shocked by any stretch. We did what we wanted to do on them. We were able to control the football, ran the football, did those things that it takes to win the game, then we just made too many darn mistakes. That’s what it is. 

"But shell-shocked? I’m not shell-shocked, by any stretch.”

Ryan is on the hot seat, admitting as much himself as the Jets are mired in last place in the AFC East.
