Football Outsiders: Patriots #1 Overall DVOA

After last night the Pats have rocketed from 6th to 1st in overall DVOA (if you still don’t get DVOA figure it out asap because it means a lot more than stupid power rankings). 

New England now has the #1 offense, the #4 Special Teams, and uh… the Defense is 23rd. Hey, it’s up from 28th last week okay!?!?

Offensively the Pats are far superior to everyone else in the NFL, with the Colts a distant second. Don’t get too excited, the Pats were number one in offensive DVOA in 2009 as well.

But what it does show is that New England is playing smart football and getting the job done in each situation they’re faced with.
