I love having this team. This team shows me a lot each week. This team never gets too down, never gets too high,” nose tackle Wilfork said. “The character of this team is amazing. We haven’t had a team like this in a while. Hopefully we can finish this thing up and get to where we want to be … with this team, I love my chances with this team.

New England is 0-2 Against Teams with Winning Records, and Baltimore is 6-1, But It Does Not Matter | The Big Lead

The teams that were the worst against winning teams compared to their record actually performed the best. They were expected to win only 0.84 playoff games on average (there is of course a tendency for these teams to be worse seeds), but averaged 1.00 wins. Based on this, I would say there is no evidence to suggest you should favor Baltimore in the playoffs based solely on the fact that they did well against winning teams while the Patriots have no wins.

In the Patriots’ eight home games, they led just once at the end of the first quarter. Overall, they’ve trailed in the first quarter in half of their games. In six of those, New England trailed at the end of the first quarter. Yet, New England proved adept at coming back from early deficits. In those six games in which they trailed going into the second quarter, the Patriots went 5-1. To put that in perspective, the rest of the NFL was just 58-146. Record When Trailing at End of 1st Quarter

Those five wins when trailing after the first quarter are the most in a single season in Patriots history. The last team with more wins when trailing after the first quarter? The 2009 Saints, who won six on their way to a Super Bowl title.
