FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Week 13 DVOA Ratings
Here’s the Week 13 DVOA ratings and they point out what we all know:
You can see how the Patriots have completely turned things around to become the same team they’ve been the last few years. The offense is awesome again, and the defense, now riddled with injuries, is once again below average. The special teams, as always, are excellent.
From Weeks 1-8:
- Offense 18th
- Defense 11th
- Special Teams: 2nd
From Weeks 9-13
- Offense: 2nd
- Defense: 21st
- Special Teams: 9th
Still, I think if you looked specifically at the defensive breakdown, it wouldn’t be the same old “great against the run, can’t stop any legit passing attack” we’ve seen the last three seasons. Now it’s the opposite, and we’ll see if that makes any difference in the post season.
