Despite total defense being worst in the league, those yards aren’t translating into a proportionate number of points, perhaps due to the decent rushing defense inside the Red Zone. Offense is also strong on the ground, which keeps defenses guessing.
Gotta continue to tighten up the pass defense! – where’s BB’s mojo?

I suspect a lot of those pass interference calls really REALLY inflate the numbers…

Lawrence – They are alarming. Certainly not typical for a Belichick coached football team.

Pats_Fan_777 – Yup, you’re right. Numbers are accurate, but those are SEASON totals not penalty yards PER GAME. Good catch.

I think your calculations of Penalty yards are wrong. These look like season totals not yards per game totals.
