Jets' Ryan 'disrespected' by Pats' late deep throw

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.(AP) New York Jets coach Rex Ryan says he felt ``a bit disrespected'' by the New England Patriots throwing a deep pass with the game well in hand.

The Patriots were ahead 31-14 with 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter Sunday when Tom Brady threw long for Randy Moss on third-and-6 from their 45-yard line. The pass fell incomplete, but riled up Ryan.

Ryan, who created controversy in the offseason when he said he didn't come to New York to ``kiss Bill Belichick's rings,'' said Monday he was ``surprised'' by the Patriots' playcall.

Ryan added that he didn't know if Belichick was behind the call, saying it might have been something Brady and Moss did on their own.
