Tatum Bell, 7.0 YPC in first 8 games, 3.9 YPC in last 8 games.
Mike Anderson, 4.5 YPC in first 8 games, 3.9 YPC in last 8 games.
Jake Plummer, 12/3 TD/INT ratio in first 8 games, 6/4 in last 8.
Scoring, 25.1 PPG in the first 8, 24.75 in the last 8.
The scoring wasn't reflective of it but the offense slowed dramatically in the second half of the season. After their leading rusher having 100+ in 5 out of the first 8 games (and 98 in a 6th game), their leading rusher had 100+ in just 1 of the last 8 games (with a 98 and 97, too).
The bottom line is their offense really wasn't that good in the second half. Their defense was very good, though. If the Patriots offense is it's normal self and, especially, doesn't turn it over, our defense should have a good chance to hold the Broncos to 17 points or so.
