Here are a few factoid after week five that might only interest me, but I figured I would throw it out there:
1.) Wes Welker only needs 21 yards and 17 receptions to be better than every receivers the Pats had in 2006 in every category. He already has more TDs than any receiver that year. I don't know if that speaks more about how awesome Welker is this year or how pathetic that receiving corp was in 2006.
2.) As bad as the defense has been, the Pats have given up the fewest points per game than any team in the division. The Pats have given up 23.8 PPG, the Bills have given up 24 PPG, the Jets have given up 25 PPG, and the Dolphins have given up 26 PPG. Not that there are any good defenses in the division, but it may mean that yards for a defensive measure could be a bit overrated.
3.) The Pats are 6th in rushing yards per game and 5th in yards per carry. Not bad for an one dimensional offense with no running game.
