Patriots snap a 22 game playoff losing streak with teams that had 3+ turnovers

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Just read that with this win,the Patriots have snapped an NFL 22 game losing streak when a team has 3 or more turnovers in a game.

The past 22 teams that made the playoffs and had 3 or more turnovers in that game all lost.....until Sunday Afternoon

Fortunately the Pats were not #23,but they had to work hard to end that streak.

I don't know about some of you,but when you have 3 or more turnovers and still win especially in a do or die game,it's nearly impossible to win that game.....we were lucky and fortunate.

Definitely some luck in there today, no doubt about that one.

lol so is that a good thing? It always amazes how these weird niche stats become relevant out of nowhere. I'm just glad we won the damn game.

I think it's a good thing because when you win a game like this where you were careless with the ball,it makes you think harder about the mistakes you made and almost always with good teams like this it almost never happens in back to back games.

With that being said,I can see Belichick in multiple meetings over the next two weeks emphatically telling his team to protect the ball better....or else you end up in the doghouse.

I expect a much better game in terms of protecting the ball against the Giants.

Great job to overcome some mistakes today.

Teams with -2 or worse TO differential are 3-46 in conference championships, last time it happened was 1981.

Right. Another weird and close game which proceeded a NYG SB matchup.

But the more important stat is the -2 turnover differential, which had not happened in 30 years.
