2nd Half Defense

[JMC00]

Here are a couple of stat tidbits

Since the Cincinnati game Pats defense has only allowed 8.6 points per game in the 2nd half (12 games 104 p/a)
Since the Denver game they have only allowed 4.5 points per game in the 2nd half (8 games 36 p/a)
Since the Det game they have only allowed 2.0 points per game in the 2nd half (6 games 12 p/a NO TD Allowed)

And yes I know this is homerism and you can do it for every team but in the Cinci, Chicago, & Denver games I count 5 garbage time TDs, 37 points, take those away and since the Cinci game it's been 5.5 points allowed in the 2nd half per game.

Don't forget the Pats haven't given up a second half TD in six games. Not since Indy getting a TD in the fourth quarter.

That was an OT*. They haven't given up a second half TD to an offensive skill player since week nine (Ronnie Hillman).

*Obviously it still counts but I wanted to add some further context.

they may let some big plays happen early...but after half..they know how to adjust. The players coaches...all being perfect with this D
