Reiss says the Patriots are 8-0 when they win the turnover battle this season and 78 - 3 during the Tom Brady era.
Two thoughts. This defense gives up a ton of yards, but they do create a lot of turnovers.
Secondly, BJGE helps win the turnover battle. NY Giant fans have watched their lead back, Bradshaw, fumble 6 times this season, losing five of them to the other team. IMHO, what makes BJGE a solid RB, is less about his 4.3 ypc, or his 9 touchdowns in his last ten games. What makes him solid, is that he has never once put the football on the ground during his NFL career, allowing the Pats an advantage in winning the turnover battle.
