We didn't? Hmm.. So, it was my imagination that the Pats gave up 38 and 34 in back to back games starting with Judon's injury?
They gave up 21ppg in the 1st 3 games.
38, 34, 21, 29, 31, 20, 10, 10, 6, 21, 27, 26, 27, 17 = 317 = 22.6 ppg
The 10, 10, and 6 were against the 10th ranked offense in the Colts, the 30th ranked offense in the Giants, and the 21st ranked offense in the Chargers. Not exactly world beaters..
I think you're severely understanding Judon's importance from a leadership perspective.
