1) Red zone defense this year is the worst in 12 years. The defense is allowing 61.4% red zone TD and only worse times were 2002 ( no rush defense that year) with 63% and 2006 with 66.7%.
---------------------------
2) Red zone offense is also down this year with 57.7% compared to 60% (2017), 63.3% (2016)and 65.6%(2015) a noticeable year over year decline...

3) ** First 7 games, Pats allowed four 300 yard passers.(Jax,Indy, KC,Chi)
Last 8 games, no 300 passers allowed while facing GB,Pitt and Minn.

4) First 7 games, defense allowed 400 yards total of five times.
Last 8 games, defense allowed 400 yards once.
