Slowly but surely they're working they're way towards the top 15.
If Matt Flynn starts for the Packers next week (possible) which helps the Patriots shut the Packers out (possible) the Patriots scoring defense would mostly likely enter the Top 10 in scoring (19.7) defense.

They're moving up late in the season like the '01 defense did. Hopefully this team goes the way of that one. One things for sure, though, this defense looks a lot better than last year's "5th ranked" defense.
It's also a bit like 2005, when the defense flipped on a dime from being terrible to respectable.
I guess you can say that, though the 2005 turnaround was more or less about getting people back and healthy. This turnaround (and 2001's) is more about new faces getting more and more comfortable in the system as well as understanding that they're going to have to bring their A-game every week.
Next two games for the Miami Dolphins: Buf @ Mia, Det @ MiaAlso consider:
- Miami will be eliminated from playoffs and wanting to be anywhere but Foxboro
I would say it has more to do with knowing that the A game requires 60 minutes of football. The reality is they have been much better "situational football" defense in 2010 than in 2005.
My guess is that's why BB gots the guys together in the Jets game. The reality is they were dominant against the Colts/Chargers/Steelers/Bengals but were less than stellar in the much debated "prevent" mode.
