The Patriots are taking on the Jets for the first time this season and the reigning Super Bowl champs are riling up their division rivals fans with a trolling take on throwback Thursday.

The Patriots are taking on the Jets for the first time this season and the reigning Super Bowl champs are riling up their division rivals fans with a trolling take on throwback Thursday, that was later deleted.
