With the Steelers losing today to the Jags, the Pats opponents W-L record in the week following their game against the Pats is now a dismal 4-9. Far below .500. For comparison's sake, if you take out the losses to the Pats, our opponents cumulative record in non-Pats games is 83-70. Far above 500.
It seems to me that we've been getting nearly every team's best game for most of the season and it's difficult for those teams to gear up for the following week's opponent. That, and the Pats are still a very physical team which causes other teams to take an extra week to fully recover from their games with us.
