1. Even with drop off last year the Pats defense still led the league in all defensive passing metrics and best 3rd down defense.
2. Pats played the most Cover1 of any NFL team last year
3. They played a lot of 'man match' cover1 where on short and medium routes to middle of the field, Patriot defenders basically played switch defense as receivers ran crossing routes in between
4. In the first 9 games the defense had an absurd stat of only giving up 2 passing TDs with 19 interceptions.
Pretty cool article
