The overall stats for the Pats don’t paint an accurate picture fo where the team is currently sitting in the lead-up to the playoffs.
After battling through their early season draw with most of their big name offensive stars out injured, Tom Brady had to make do with the targets he had in front of him.
But now they have got close to what they would call a full-strength side, New England will again be a force in the post-season this season.
