After a horrific 2-4 start, including 0-4 at home and a historically-embarassing negative-yards rushing game, the team has won 4 straight.
Several players below are notable as Patriot standouts. I would give a major non-player callout to
coach Steve Belichick who has been doing a great job as DC. Patriot defense has only given up 12.5 points per game the last 4 weeks, including scoring on pick6's or setting up the offense for 1st and Goal. For the year, the Patriot Defense is 2nd in the league in points allowed per game (17.5pts/game) which is impressive given Jonathan Jones is out, Gilmore is gone, and Bentley / Godchaux / Mills are not good at their positions.
