Rex Ryan is trying to put the Jets’ disastrous 45-3 loss to the Patriots behind the team in his own unique way.

Ryan buried a game ball from the Monday night shellacking alongside the Jets’ practice field as the team gathered for the first time since the defeat.

“This morning (Ryan) made us get out of a team meeting and he buried a football in the ground along the sideline on the field and said, ‘Just forget about it, forget about this game.’ It was actually a game ball from Monday night,’’ Darrelle Revis said. “Rex said, ‘We’re burying this game and what happened Monday night, and let’s move forward.’”

Revis said Ryan took the team by surprise.

“He told us to go outside and we were all saying, ‘What are we doing? Going on a field trip or something?'” Revis said. “The hole was right there, already dug, there with the dirt on the side and he threw the ball in the hole. It was a funeral for a game ball.

“That might be the best I ever saw, I never seen a coach do that. You usually hear a coach say, ‘Let’s bury this game.’ Rex actually buried it. Everybody was in shock, nobody said anything.’’

The Jets will get their first chance to put the game behind them on the field when they play the Dolphins on Sunday.
