Week 9 against Peyton Manning in early Nov. That was the last time the Patriots defense gave up more than 10 points after the half. This is a very good D that is probably pissed that all the attention is on Seattle’s D. They figure out what you are trying to run and shut it down. You’d have to like the Patriots chances if they are ahead, tied or within one score of SEA at the half. Conversely, putting aside the miracle comeback against GB, this SEA team is not built to overcome leads. Thoughts?

I think this is a good sign that once this defense locks in on an offense, they do a pretty good job. But I don’t think it necessarily means Seattle is going to get shutdown in the second half regardless. They’re a very crafty offense that can make something out of nothing better than anyone. The defense will have to get locked in quickly and stay locked in until the clock hits zero to keep Wilson et al in check.
