Belichick grabbed a dry erase board and quickly drew an exact diagram of the Xs and Os of Navy’s 27 F-trap from memory… from 59 years ago.
We’ve all seen the stat that facing the #1 statistical defense at home, Brady is 6-0 with 12 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
When it comes to the players who have had the most success in the red zone, it’s certainly frustrating that they’ll be without one of them over the final playoff push against some tough opponents.
In this episode we shared our thoughts on the Rob Gronkowski injury for the Pats and later on looked forward to the Ravens game.
Week 15 brings a test to the theory that pro football has become over saturated. The NFL will televise games on four days next week. With college football finished with the exception of bowl games and playoffs, the NFL is now free to include Saturdays on their schedule. Don’t get too excited about that proposition though.

The big story of course was that Brady won his 201st game at quarterback, to set an NFL all-time record. The Patriots advanced to 10-2 to remain in the top slot in the AFC playoff picture. With Miami losing at Baltimore the Pats are now up three games in the AFC East with only four games remaining in the regular season.
Here’s what Tom Brady had to say following the team’s win over the Rams.
“They respect me, and nothing changes in the game plan or anything if I’m in or Gronk’s out or anything like that. We just run our offense.”
