The defense has a bounce-back game

The Patriots have featured one of the best defenses in the NFL all season long, but questions arose about them after losing 37-20 to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9.

This unit gave up 210 rushing yards and Lamar Jackson had the freedom to fully play his game the entire night. The Patriots took that game to heart and they came out firing the entire game against Philadelphia. They only allowed the Eagles to pass for 174 yards and rush for 81 yards, which is similar to the season averages that they carry against opposing teams.

Philadelphia was 3-for-13 on third down conversion attempts and they coughed up a fumble. The Eagles’ wide receivers accounted for less than 80 receiving yards and the tight ends were the only offensive players to produce numbers. This defense has remained healthy and they are as good as advertised.
