The Patriots are winning again because they’re zagging

The Pats offense and defense are cutting against the grain of most modern-era trends, especially lately during the team’s five-game win streak.

Buffalo reminds me of the 2019 Pats. Great through the 1st 8 games.. Then they went 4-4 to finish the season only to lose in the WC of the playoffs. Why'd this happen? Our "Boogeyman" defense fell apart.

The wheels seem to have started going flat for the Buffalo defense. They gave up 34 to the Titans and now 41 to the Colts. Not to mention the embarrassing loss to the Jaguars.
