Any playoff hopes the Patriots had are now all but faded after a disappointing loss to Houston yesterday. Here are the ups and downs from Week 11.

Adidas Blue Windbreaker – Official Record – Unknown
(Notes- SB36 win)
A funny-looking hoodie you may think, but we don’t discriminate, the beginning of the Dynasty took place with this classic Adidas windbreaker. As this bad boy was worn just before the official Belichick Hoodie Database records began, we’re not sure what it’s winning record is.
