But it was the defense, holding Brees and Co. to a total of 1 net yard on six snaps with a chance to put the game away that deserves a big chunk of the credit. Five runs, one pass and it totaled just a single net yard. That’s impressive work with or without all the injuries the unit was dealing with and it’s what the Patriots needed to get the ball back to Brady to give the Future Hall of Famer another chance to add to his legend.

Before we went on to the field, you could see Tommy was focused. He had that ‘in the zone’ type of look. He basically said, ‘Let’s go out, we do this every Thursday, we’ll be all right.’ Everyone was kind of focused on the task at hand. We play out the situations a bunch during the week. Coach Bill [Belichick] makes it pretty tough on us [in practice].

“We’ve changed our model a little bit, because we wanted more than one of these,” Irsay said, referring to his Super Bowl XLI ring. “[Tom] Brady never had consistent numbers, but he has three of these. Pittsburgh had two, the Giants had two, Baltimore had two and we had one. That leaves you frustrated. “You make the playoffs 11 times, and you’re out in the first round seven out of 11 times. You love to have the Star Wars numbers from Peyton and Marvin [Harrison] and Reggie [Wayne]. Mostly, you love this.”

If the Pats can make it to the bye at 8-1 (or 7-2) how impressive would that be?

Pretty damn impressive for sure. These next two weeks are going to really define what kind of season this will be I think. Whether the Pats will essentially run away with the division once again, or if it will be a dogfight down to the end.

The Pats do have a tough late November and December, but if they can get to the bye with only a couple losses they should really start to get reinforcements by then with Vereen, Gronk and maybe even Armond Armstead, who could provide a boost for the DTs.

Either way, the Pats have put themselves in a good position even here in mid-October, but the next six games will tell us pretty much everything we need to know.
