How about the job that Dave DeGuglielmo is doing with the Patriots offensive line? With a ton of injuries, the unit has performed excellently in 2015
The NFL has said in the past it doesn’t review accusations by other teams it doesn’t deem reasonable, but last Sunday they apparently felt strongly enough to come into Gillette Stadium and perform a search before the contest, while also interrogating team employees.
The Patriots defense limited the Jets ground game to just 89 yds & 3.0 YPC on the day. New York entered the game averaging 146 yards per game on the ground
Tom Brady had another vintage performance in the fourth quarter as the Patriots overcame a 20-16 over the Jets to win a tough game 30-23.
Week 7 brings NFL fans one great game – the Jets at Patriots pits the league’s best defense versus the NFL’s best offense – and besides that a whole lot of mediocrity. Unfortunately for football fans this early game is the one and only matchup between two teams with winning records. Some of that can be attributed to three unbeaten teams – Cincinnati, Denver and Green Bay – all having a bye this week. Beyond that though, the NFL’s never-ending quest for parity has exposed an ugly under belly as a side effect. Only nine of the 32 NFL teams have winning records and two entire divisions do not have a single winning team.
The Patriots depth especially at the offensive line will be tested this week as the Pats play the Jets today and turn right around and face Miami Thursday
Looking at these numbers I was a bit surprised – as I am sure many others will be – at how often the Jets ranked relatively high (top ten in the NFL) in offensive categories.

Even though the Patriots are on CBS, displaced New England fans should be happy to hear that the Pats-Jets game will still receive extensive broadcast distribution throughout the United States. Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts will be the announcers on CBS between these two original AFL rivals, as they meet for the 113ᵗʰ time; the Patriots lead the all-time series 58-54-1.
While all eyes are focusing (and appropriately so) on Sunday night’s game at Indianapolis. advanced lines have already been set for NFL week seven. The New England Patriots have opened as 9½-point favorites over division rival New York Jets in week seven look-ahead lines. That represent the largest early line point spread for the thirteen NFL games being played next week. At this moment in time the Pats-Jets contest is the only week seven game between two teams with winning records. Three thus far undefeated teams – the Packers, Bengals and Broncos – are all off with a bye.
The Patriots released veteran cornerback Bradley Fletcher on Saturday and replaced him on the active roster with rookie safety and STs player Brandon King
