Pats lead the league in kick returns. - New England Patriots Forums

I don't think this has been discussed here yet, but the Pats lead the NFL in kick returns with a 30.9 average. The 2nd place team, the Jets, are over a yard and a half behind. Round of applause for Ellis, Wes, Willie and the guys out front blocking for them.

Very nice, but the Skins are right there with a 28.01 average

Don't forget: its only half the year and the Pats have a 108 yarder skewing the stats.

Right, because that particular return shouldn't really count

Yea kind of a strange comment. Thats like removing those 2 hail mary throws to Moss what you talk about the # of TD's Brady has.

Of course it counts. It happened. I'm just saying that the 108 yarder could skew the stats some.

Look at it in a different context: an RB has 100 yards on 20 carries. 5YPA. Good day right? What if he had 1 60 yard run and 40 yds on 19 carries (~2 YPA) otherwise. He had 1 lucky run and a crap day (or maybe really good if they were all 1yd scores).
