Good point. Since the win over Seattle in Super Bowl Tom Brady has 8 Game Winning / 4th quarter comebacks.
In only one of those 8 games did the Patriots allow a 4th quarter TD drive. (25) 4th quarter drives faced (equivalent of 2 games)
13 Punts
3 interceptions
2 fumble recoveries
1 turned over on downs
2 end of game
3 FG's
1 TD
Essentially 16 points allowed over the span of 2 full games in tightly contested games.
There may be other NFL teams that are ranked higher than the Patriots defense. But when you have a tightly contested game they are the best in the league at stopping the other team and giving Brady another chance.
