All five teams who beat the Pats missed the playoffs.
Apologies if this has been pointed out in one of the zillion other threads, but not only did Pitt, Tenn, Miami, Jax, and Detroit lose the week after beating the Pats, but they all missed the playoffs (three of them were sub .500).
I think this illustrates as well as anything that the Pats get every team's best shot every week, which makes this long run of dominance even more impressive.
Counterpoint: It's also good to beat bad teams, but whatever.
