These days, it’s hard to find a New England Patriots stat that surprises you.
We said “hard” — not “impossible.”
During Sunday’s broadcast of the Patriots game against the Buffalo Bills, CBS ran a graphic saying the Patriots are 92-1 in the regular season when leading at halftime at Gillette Stadium with Tom Brady at quarterback. But that stat can’t be right, can it?
Well, take a look at this chart posted by Boston Sports Info:
New England Patriots are a mind blowing (92-1, .989), with Tom Brady as the starting QB, in the regular season, at home, when they are leading at halftime
Total home games w/Brady – 131

As you can see, the lone loss came in the 2017 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Had the Patriots not imploded in the second half, they’d be a perfect 93-0.
Simply ridiculous.
