New York Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine acknowledged that cornerback Darrelle Revis had assistance when he shut down New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss earlier this season.

Moss caught only four passes for 24 yards, and Revis has repeatedly claimed it was accomplished in single coverage.

Moss has denied that claim, as has Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Here's what Pettine had to say: "I don't have numbers. We mixed our coverages up a lot. You have to do that against New England. You can't give them one look. I can say this, we weren't in a lot of true cover zero (man-on-man) with no help. Nobody in the league is. Most teams in the league, I would be shocked if they averaged more than four or five snaps a game of straight man coverage with no help.'

Moss and Revis can settle it on the field Sunday.
