Want To Throw Deep On Patriots? This Stat Should Make Teams Think Twice
Fair warning to NFL teams: Throw deep on the Patriots at your own risk.
The New England defense, particularly the secondary, has been all-time good through four games this season. Allowing just one offensive touchdown all season, Bill Belichick’s defense has tormented opposing quarterbacks and suffocated receivers.
There are many stats that prove just how good this unit has been, but perhaps none illustrates the greatness of the Patriots defense like this one from NFL Research:
When passing deep against the @Patriots, quarterbacks have thrown more INT (4) than they have completions (3) this season.
QBs are 3-27 for 97 yards and 4 INT on passes of 20+ air yards vs NE according to @NextGenStats

Yeah, that’s impressive.
The Patriots defense once again should dominate Sunday when it faces the Washington Redskins and whoever Jay Gruden plans on starting at quarterback.
