They aren't giving up 43 to KC...
That's giving lots of credit to the Chiefs offense than it is an indictment on the Pats D.

This is one of our best defenses ever fielded in terms of pass coverage. Could we use more pass rush? Yes, but the coverage hides it so well.
Our defense btw allowed 0 points vs the Jets. One TD was off a muffed return and the other a pick 6 by Brady. So they have been absolutely on fire to start the season. 3 actual point surrendered by the defense through 3 games.
Unfortunately the points will be counted against them, I'm thinking our defense stays under 17 ppg for the season though. This is a top notch, elite unit. Adding Bennett and Jamie Collins helped an already strong secondary unit.
Tied with Jacksonville for the most sacks (13).I think our pass rush does enough. We have a lot players who are capable of applying pressure and a couple of them will have 5-8 sacks.
The biggest plus of this defense is the depth. We have 20-21 players who can play. Lots of them can tackle, rush the passer, stop the run and cover at a fairly high level.

It’s going to be hard to keep up at this rate but this d looks historic.Our defense btw allowed 0 points vs the Jets. One TD was off a muffed return and the other a pick 6 by Brady. So they have been absolutely on fire to start the season. 3 actual point surrendered by the defense through 3 games.

This team typically doesn't start getting good until Oct-Nov. Remember that.
True, as a group they do enough, I just mean we don't have that one elite pass rusher that must be gameplanned around. But it's complimentary football. Bennett and Collins have contributed nicely to the overall picture.
Overall though I feel the secondary is causing quite a few coverage sacks because of how long and how well they cover. With a different secondary I don't think you see the same sack totals if you isolate this DL/pass rush group.
@TommyBrady12 Is this points against (the official NFL stat) or points given up when the NE D is on the field?
@Tron , do you really think the defense is going to allow 350-400 points or are you just trolling?
