Trivia question: 2008 Pats v. 2007 Pats - New England Patriots Forums

Simple question: how many more times did the 2008 Patriots punt than the 2007 Patriots?

Cripes, it's got to be close.... 5 or 10 more times?

Six more times. They also had the second highest ever total of first downs in New England Patriots history following 2007 at #1.

Beware of stats though. This year Kevin Faulk also has a better passer rating than Kevin O'Connell.

We also played a much easier schedule this year, and probably had significantly fewer possessions.
