Tom E. Curran: Patriots have cut cord to past

Nice read from Tom E. and he’s totally right. This team is overachieving right now. Anytime you’re 8-2 with (statistically) one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL you’re getting a combination of timely plays, great coaching, and luck. 

As to how long this can continue we’ll see. But this is not a dominant Patriots team. They don’t beat themselves and they make plays when they have to. Continuing to do that when the games matter most at the end of the season and into the playoffs is a whole different challenge.

Luckily there’s still time to improve the areas that desperately need improving.
