FOXBORO — Given the players lost to season-ending injuries in Sunday’s win in Buffalo, the Patriots likely are in no mood to play games with the Jets tomorrow night.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun.

Picture this dream sequence playing out. The Pats are in the red zone. Tom Brady drops back to pass on third-and-goal. He goes through his reads then quickly fires and hits . . .

Darrelle Revis.

Touchdown.

Could it happen? Would Bill Belichick ever let his superstar cornerback flip across and play with the offense? In a Border War game, no less? The premise opened an interesting discussion with Revis last week.

First off, we heard a while back Revis was itching to catch a touchdown pass from Brady against the Jets, who spurned him after he became a free agent earlier in the year. Supposedly, the scenario was discussed with the Patriotss brain trust before he signed in March.

So, was this true or false?

Revis wouldn’t admit to this desire, but he didn’t deny it, either. Let’s just say based on our chat, the former Jet wouldn’t mind having the above scenario play out when the Pats hook up with Rex Ryan and the 1-5 New York Jets.

Asked how he’d react if sent out with the offense in a real red-zone scenario against any team, Revis at first chuckled. But he was warm to the idea.

“I mean, I’m very confident in catching balls. I know that. We’ve got some great receivers on this team. Usually when something happens like that, it’s the depth chart, maybe injuries. Knock on wood, I hope we don’t get to that point,” Revis said. “But if there was an opportunity, if Bill came to me and said we need help, I’m willing to do whatever coach says. And that’s any position. That’s just what it is. We get asked to do some crazy things sometimes. Whatever coach needs me to play, I’ll be up for the challenge.”

Only, this wouldn’t be so crazy. Revis was a wide receiver in high school and had the option of playing either cornerback or receiver at the University of Pittsburgh. So the notion of him making the switch during a rare instance isn’t as outlandish as it might seem.

When asked point blank if there was a plan for him to do it at some point, most notably against the Jets, Revis responded with more laughter. Then he didn’t exactly close the door.

“We’ll see,” he said coyly.

Who knows, maybe the receiver talk was just in jest. Maybe Revis and Belichick were just goofing around.

Whatever the case, Belichick does have a history of throwing some of his defensive players into the offense. Linebacker Mike Vrabel was a great goal-line tight end. Revis even pointed to players on offense such as Troy Brown and Julian Edelman flipping over to defense. So he’s well aware how versatility can work.

“I’ll leave it up to Bill. He’s the guru and he’s the genius at those type of things,” Revis said. “He has a history of doing things like that.”

That, he does.

Revis said that while his favorite position growing up was cornerback, he also wanted to be on offense to score touchdowns. At Aliquippa (Pa.) High, he did everything.

In the Class AA championships, he scored five touchdowns in one game — three rushing, one on a punt return and another on a blocked field goal return. He also completed a 39-yard pass, caught a pass and picked off a pass.

“In high school, I was an athlete. The coach would put me everywhere,” Revis said. “I started at wide receiver. But whenever we got in trouble as an offense, he’d tell me to go to running back. We’re gonna give you a toss. Or tight end, we’re gonna throw you a 7-route. or go to quarterback and throw the ball to somebody. It was always like that when we got in tough situations.”

If you’ve ever been to a Patriots game when the players warm up, you’ll see Revis out playing catch, running routes and catching passes, as if he were a receiver. That’s part of his warmup routine. He did that Sunday prior to shutting down Bills rookie Sammy Watkins.

“I guess that’s just the inner receiver in me,” Revis said.

It’s all part of what makes him a great cornerback. He has great ball skills. He has great hands, and he’s terrific in the air.

“I got a knack for just being a ball hawk,” he said. “You’ve got to have certain skill sets to see where the ball’s at in the air, high point it, at the best time when the ball’s coming down. When the ball’s coming down, I just try to turn into a receiver and try to catch it and come down with the ball.”

The Pats were having trouble in the red zone but took advantage of their chances against the Bills, hitting on 2-of-3 opportunities inside the 20. They finally utilized tight end Tim Wright for one of the scores down close.

Might they add a new wrinkle named Revis?

It’s an amusing thought, for sure.

Asked if Ryan ever entertained the notion of sticking him on offense, Revis shook his head.

“No,” Revis said. “I don’t even think that ever popped up in his mind.”

It probably has with Belichick. The only question is whether he’d actually do it.
