Only teams in North American pro sports history to win 10 straight division titles: #Patriots (2009-Present)

Sony Michel now has 881 rushing yards on the season. That's the most by a rookie running back in the Belichick era. It's the most by a Patriots rookie RB since Robert Edwards (1,115) in 1998
