Patriots' D ranks second for fewest points allowed, but is unit really one of NFL's best?
So there it is, folks. BB, the greatest defensive mind ever, came out and said without hesitation when asked the most important stat he looks for in his defense that it is points allowed. I know we've discussed this back and forth for the past month or so - some feel that it's yards allowed and other say it's points.
It's an ESPN article, but written by Reiss and it's worth a read.
“Defensively, if you can not give up big plays, and force the team to drive through the red area, and then play well in the red area and not give up touchdowns, give up field goals, then how many points can you score? It’s hard to get a lot of points that way.”
