25% of NFL teams do not have a head coach. 2022 and 2019 were the only other seasons since 2017 to turn over at least 8 head coaching jobs.

In the last 5 years only 4 teams have scored more than 1 point per minute of offensive possession: 2024 Lions, 1.042 2021 Cowboys, 1.009 2025 Rams, 1.003 2024 Bills, 1.001 The worst producers in that time: 2025 Raiders, 0.510 2024 Browns, 0.503 2023 Patriots, 0.496 2023 Panthers, 0.447

Ron Torbert will referee the Patriots wild card playoff game. His 2nd Pats game of 2025 (wk 1 vs. LV) 2025 was the 4th consecutive season where Torbert's crew called more than 50% of their penalties against the home team while league average has been under 50% every year Torbert refereed SB LIX

In 1999, in his 2nd NFL season, Kurt Warner led the Rams to a 13-3 record and a Super Bowl victory, all on the back of the league's easiest schedule.

Maye and Stafford against identical coverage on these plays. Double teams on their #1. Maye pulls the ball back to throw, but sees the Jets defender ready to jump the pass. He tucks and runs for a 1st down. Stafford doesn't see it. His ball gets tipped and returned for a touchdown. Week 17, 2025

In 1999, Peyton Manning flipped the Colts from a 13-loss team into a 13-win team. He finished 2nd in MVP voting. Ironically, Peyton lost the MVP race to Rams QB, Kurt Warner. In 2025, Drake Maye accomplished the same 13-game flip and is competing against another Rams QB for MVP.

The #Patriots have a mixed history as the AFC's No. 2 seed. The format has changed (no more bye), but since 2000, they are 3-3 in AFC championship games when entering the playoffs as the No. 2 seed, beating the Chiefs and Steelers, losing to the Broncos and Ravens

The last QB to take a 13-loss team and turn them into a 13-win team the next year was Peyton Manning (in his 2nd season)

The #Patriots are the only team in the NFL whose average score at halftime in games this year is at least a touchdown lead.

#SNF When throwing outside of the right hash, 10-20 yards downfield, Drake was 3/9 (33%), 0 TD, 1 INT. When throwing anywhere else, 28/35 (80%), 2 TD, 0 INT. Against Buffalo, Drake was also completing 33% of passes in his "dead zone", 71% everywhere else.

The Patriots are averaging 248 passing yards per game on offense in 2025. Patriots' opponents are giving up 199 passing yards per game to all other offenses.

The 2025 season has been a breakout year for tight ends: the top 12 TEs are producing 88.9% of the fantasy points per game of the top 36 WRs — the narrowest positional gap since at least 2020 (previous peak: 79.5% in 2021).

Quarterbacks leading the league in converting time to throw into depth of target: 1. R Wilson 2. S Darnold 3. M Stafford 4. P Mahomes 5. D Jones

The Patriots run defense extends their NFL record streak to 9 games not allowing an opposing RB to rush for 50 yards against them. Quietly one of the most impressive performances of any defensive unit in the league this year.

Drake Maye's been sacked 5x times in back to back games. In his 20 seasons as a Patriot, Brady was never sacked 5x times in back to back games. Offensive line needs work.
