Patriots Haven't Given Up a Rushing TD Since Week 8

[manxman2601]

Can anyone confirm this. I've watched every game, but my memory is lousy.

If true, this is quite the stat.

 

[Tuck]

If true, it's pretty bad ass.

Volin replied with a list of the 12 TDs we've allowed in that time; all passing.



Not implying causation but this means that we haven't allowed a rushing TD since the Collins trade.

 

[Wheelman]

It looks correct on pro football reference.

Just scroll all the way down to Opponents touchdown log.

When was the last time the Pats only had two players score Rushing TD's all season? I legitimately have no idea.

 

[deroc5050]

Thats pretty impressive.

 

[Tuck]

Thats pretty impressive.

Yeah but what's their DVOA?

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

Yeah but what's their DVOA?

I get the sarcasm but it's very good. 4th in the league against the run. Would be better over just the last 8 games although I don't have the stats on that.

That's amazing. Stopping the run in the Red Zone is not easy. It takes great gap discipline to put up a streak like that. Nobody broke free for a score means the secondary is doing an extraordinary job staying aware of what's happening in front of them while tending to their coverage reponsibilities. I am very impressed.

 

[Minitron]

That's just great. And nobody is talking about it.

I noticed they only gave up 2 first quarter TDs all year.. Also most of the 4th quarter TDs they gave up were of the junk variety, i.e. 3 score leads and making other team use lots of clock.... (Rams, SF, 2nd Buf game, Cinn)

 

[Nikolai]

That's just great. And nobody is talking about it.

Oh I'm sure we'll hear about it during the game if Houston is on the 1-yard line with a first down.

 

[Ring 6]

The run d overall has been incredible over the last 8 weeks.

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

12 passing TDs in 8 games....were doomed.....Brock is a TD pitchin machine.

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Oh I'm sure we'll hear about it during the game if Houston is on the 1-yard line with a first down.

Or, We'll probably hear it on a 3rd and 19 from the Houston 5, as they go off tackle for 95....

 

[ivanvamp]

In the past 7 games, the Pats have given up only 9 total touchdowns. I don't care who you're playing against, that's pretty good.

bc "SoS"

yeah but yds against is the true indicator

 

[chasa]

defending-the-wall-gate Patriots run defense are using unfair advantages in prevent rushing touchdowns.

 

[Pats1989]

On Que the Texans will score three rushing TD's Saturday. Kind of like the announcer saying so and so hasn't missed a kick in forever....before sending it wide right.
