Here is an amazing stat today told by Pat Kirwin of Sirius NFL Radio
This season as a whole 31 team league has teams that have the ball inside of thier own 20 yard line to go and score a touchdown is at a 13% touchdown rate.
The Patriots inside of thier own 20 have a 79% touchdown rate - Thats 66% more touchdowns per inside the 20 offensive series than the average of most other teams in the league.
The Patriots when inside of thier own 20 have scored a TD in 8 of 11 attempts for that 79% ratio
The Colts have been inside of thier 20 at 19 times this season,They have scored a TD just ONCE - Thats right,1 for 19 in TDs from inside thier own 20 - Thats an amazing stat considering thier offense almost always performs at a high level.
That stat puts the Patriotsat a level on thier own and by far when you try and get them deep - for all but 21% of the time it has not mattered.
