The New England Patriots just piled on to the misfortune of a lowly rival

Zinger!

Kick 'em when they're down, why don't you.

The New England Patriots are the poster child for success during the Tom Brady era, perennial Super Bowl contenders with five wins in the big game and no signs of slowing down. The New York Jets are — the Jets. The bumbling and stumbling team that seemingly has no plan for long-term success is in the midst of a total tear down, shedding veterans like old shoes as the team tanks in hopes of landing a franchise quarterback in the 2018 draft.

"It's a lot better than the Jets' Hall of Fame, which is nonexistent," the younger Kraft said.

Yep, kick 'em while they're down.
