The Patriots D has given up 22.2 ppg, tied for 15th in NFL with....the Jets.

No. I'm not kidding. Look it up.

If Anderson and Carter can keep the pressure on; the D won't be giving up as many pass yards either.

Hmmm, a turnaround might be happening....

Yeah, but they give up alot of yards, so they "suck".

They have only given up 36 more points than the 3rd ranked defense in points allowed. Spread that out over 9 games and there really isn't a huge difference. #3 is giving up 4 less points per game than the Patriots at 15.

Just get better every week and hope the pass rush and secondary can continue to improve.
