-- New England has scored 219 points in its last five games (43.8 average) and is on pace to break its NFL record for points in a season, when they amassed 589 in 2007.

-- The Patriots are converting 53.2 of third downs heading into Sunday's game against the Dolphins. THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS!

-- The Patriots have scored eight defensive and special teams touchdowns this season.
-- Patriots QB Tom Brady has been picked off THREE times in 11 games this season (421 attempts). His career low is 4 ints in 2010. Good Lord.
-- Ryan Tannehill's 4th quarter passer rating has improved to 81.4, which ranks him 26th in NFL.Russell Wilson (95.5),RGIII (88.3). Luck (67.7)
-- The New England Patriots are plus-24 in turnovers. That's 11 more turnovers than the 2nd best team (Bears). Dolphins are negative-10. Ouch!

A lot of INTs for Tannehill on 3rd down, most coming late in the game when we have to throw and most are 3rd and 6+ yards. Some he's been hit while throwing but others are just flat out bad throws.

Brady's number are just insane. Pats 3 losses are by a total of 4 points...I don't know how you stop the guy unless you have a D-line like the Giants.

This year I don't think there is any stopping them because they have also added a running game that's the third best in the NFL, and Brady doesn't have to pass on every down. No one is really talking about this, but when teams have to respect the run, they can't send all those pressure packages every single down. Even when teams are sending just 4 down lineman, they have to respect the running game because they are going to get gashed on draws and counters into a secondary that's set up with nickle and dime coverage expecting pass. Again this is a real change to the Patriots offense that hasn't been talked about, but it's clear to see the Patriots know how the Giants beat them and have taken steps to counter.
