For years, the dynasty that is the New England Patriots has reigned atop the NFL. What this organization has brought to the league is like no other. Franchises have used the Patriots as examples of how the game of football should be played. Having a strong offense and defense is what will win you championships.
This year has been no different for the Patriot’s offensive staff as they have scored little more than 28 points per game and are second in the league in passing. Though, they have begun to trail off just a bit, they showed signs of a solid running game a few weeks back. Regardless of the running game or not the Patriots have been a force on offense led of course, by Tom Brady. New England sits at 5-2 behind the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East and one has to wonder, where is the defense?
This is a defense that is ranked last in the league in passing, giving up 323 yards per game. The defense is giving up just about 23 points per game but only giving up 101 yards to...

FOXBORO, Mass. -- Running back Danny Woodhead is coming off the first game of his New England career without an offensive touch, but he's got no issues with his role on the team. Maybe not by coincidence, it was also the first time he was on the field at the same time as teammate Kevin Faulk, who returned Sunday after a 13-month absence with a knee injury. Faulk led the Patriots...

Patriots DL Shaun Ellis bruised his ribs vs. the Steelers, may miss some time
For those who missed it last night, a quick injury update having to do with the Patriots defense. It’s not a major one, which is probably good news.
Patriots DE Shaun Ellis, the veteran former Jets star, suffered bruised ribs in the loss to the Steelers, I’m told. It’s not considered a long-term issue, but don’t be surprised if Ellis misses this week’...

In 2007, the Patriots had the best offense in the history of football, but it wasn't enough to win the Super Bowl. They've since maintained an incredibly potent offense while mixing in a suspect defense, and the result has been zero postseason victories for three seasons.

Thanks to snow and power outages all across the Foxboro area (and in places like North Andover, right), a ton of players are actually staying in a nearby hotel, rather...

New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle doesn't seem too worried about New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker.
Although Welker has an NFL-leading 57 receptions for 824 yards this season, Rolle doesn't have an answer why the diminutive wideout is giving other NFL defensive backs fits this season.
