Where Are the New England Patriots Struggling Most on Defense?
New on Bleacher Report from yours truly…
The Pats are currently ranked 32nd in the NFL in passes over 20-yards allowed with 42, and they’re tied for 28th in passes allowed over 40-yards with six. The bombs are dropping left and right and the Patriots defense has no answers. This is nothing new really. The 2011 Pats were also the worst in the NFL at giving up 20-plus passing plays, but the difference? Last year they gave up just four touchdowns all year out of all 79 bombs, but this year through eight games and 42 bombs they’ve already given up ten touchdowns.
