Considering how the year started out for the Patriots, it's hard to believe that they're sitting in great shape at 7-2 heading into Sunday's match-up against the Colts.
However, their record, along with the Colts (6-3), has them in a tight group of teams who put themselves in the NFL record books thanks to their success at this point in the year.
According to a fact from the Elias Sports Bureau that was mentioned by ESPN this afternoon, the Patriots are one of eight teams with a winning percentage of .667 or better who for the first time at this point in the season will be battling each other this weekend. It's the first time in NFL history that four games have featured eight teams with that percentage or better facing off this late in the year.
The other games include:
Seahawks (6-3) at Chiefs (6-3)
Eagles (7-2) at Packers (6-3)
Lions (7-2) at Cardinals (8-1)
Patriots (7-2) at Colts (6-3)
The Patriots were off last week during their bye week following their huge 43-21 win over Denver back on November 2nd, 2014.
