Patriots Sitting at 15-0, Thanks to Tom Brady & Co.
The New England Patriots are on the verge of completing the unthinkable… going undefeated in the regular season and tying the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
Facing the Miami Dolphins (ironically) in week 16, the Patriots jumped out to a large lead and coasted to their 15th straight win. Their final game, next weekend, will be in New York against the Giants. This is hardly a gimme, but the Patriots will be the favorites. The only question will be whether or not coach Belichick sits his regulars in the regular season finale.
With the team coasting into the playoffs, it would be stupid to risk injury to your star players. However, quarterback Tom Brady is on the verge of setting a new single season NFL record for touchdown passed - he’s currently at 48 TD passes, only 1 behind the record held by the Colts’ Peyton Manning. Wide receiver Randy Moss is also on the verge of breaking the record for most touchdown receptions - he trails the legendary Jerry Rice by 1 touchdown heading into the final game.
Before we get into all the records that New England has already broken this year, take a look at the most popular Patriots jerseys below:
Ok, sorry… here are the NFL records that the New England Patriots have tied or broken already this year:
- NFL record for most touchdowns in a season
- Highest regular season point differential
- First team to start season w/ 15 straight wins
- Tied record for most regular season wins
- Brady-to-Moss most pass/catch TD combo in single season
The Patriots have exceeded all expectations this year and they’re doing it in a record setting style. Give praise to Belichick, his staff, and the players on the team for putting together such a remarkable run. Whether you like New England’s team (or coach) is irrelevant… this is history baby!
