Another deflate-gate myth squashed

After Deflategate, Patriots still lead NFL with fewest fumbles | The MMQB with Peter King

Patriots once again lead the league in all fumble related categories.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Only 1 fumble from all of our RBs is a pretty remarkable stat. Granted, in this sample size a lot comes down to chance, but thank god chance favored us there. If we'd had an uncharacteristically high fumble rate--even if it was purely by chance--we all know that would've been beaten into the ground endlessly.

Have they released PSI measurements between game beginning and halftime of a cold weather game? I'd be interested for that info.

As for the Pats' impressive fumble stat, it certainly helps not having Ridley anymore LOL.

Very impressive. Coach has always preached ball security and it shows. No haters will believe there's any way it could simply be superb coaching.

Here's how they do it:



"Your turn to carry the ball. Run hard. Fumble it, and you're benched."

It's almost as if the Patriots have a coaching staff who incessantly stress the importance of winning the turnover game and ball security. I mean, it's not like Belichick coaches for every situation is it? He's never shown a disposition toward that ever.

Yep. They are on their way...
