These ridiculous stats show how good the Patriots have been so far
The Patriots are 7-0 and sitting comfortably atop the AFC East. They haven't been faced with too much adversity yet this season, but that's because they've been miles better than their
competition. One would only have to look at the stats, which basically say it all.
Let's start with the offense.
Patriots are on pace to score 569 points this season. That would be the second most in franchise history behind 2007 (589).
