One year after the New England Patriots went 16-0, the Detroit Lions did the same thing – in reverse.
Ouch.
Speaking of the Pats, they finished the season 11-5. If the New York Jets beat the Miami Dolphins, the Pats get the wild card spot. If the fish win, the Pats are out.
Nevertheless, given the massive injury obstacles the Patriots had to overcome, it’s remarkable they reached 11 wins led by back up QB Matt Cassel. It really gets to the heart of the quality of the coaching staff and organization the Patriots are.
How can Bill Belichick not be coach of the year?
