The Patriots have allowed a whopping 58 pass plays of 20 or more yards this season, already the most ever allowed in a season by a Patriots defense, the most in the league so far this season (by a lot), and on pace for 84 by the end of the season, which would shatter the existing record (since 1995) of 72 allowed by the 2004 Chiefs (the only team to allow more than 65 in a season).

However, they’ve allowed only TWO touchdown passes from 20 yards or more, tied for the FEWEST in the league this season and could challenge the fewest ever allowed (again, they began tracking the stat in 1995) by a Patriots defense (they allowed three in 2001 and 2003).

Classy comment from Brady below. I’m very interested to see how the Packers hold up down the stretch. The 2007 Patriots ran out of gas as the season winded down, limped through 2.90 playoff games and finally folded under two minutes from being the undisputed greatest team of all time.

Recently Tedy Bruschi spoke of how exhausting it was dealing with all the pressure and media focus that comes with the pursuit of perfection. The Packers have shown little sign of slowing down and it has yet to look like anyone has figured out a proverbial “blueprint”.

As much maligned as the Patriots secondary is I would relish the chance to see what Bill Belichick’s game plan would be to stop the Packers in the Super Bowl. Everyone said the Greatest Show on Turf was unstoppable in 2001 as well.

“It’s so impressive when you watch a team that can string together that many victories going all the way back to last season. It really tells you what the character and the make-up of the players on that team are. So them getting off to the start that they’ve gotten off to is very impressive. And the way Aaron’s playing, it’s impossible to play the quarterback position any better than he is playing it right now.”
