The New England Patriots defense is not playing any better than last year especially in the first week of December.
As for the AFC Playoffs, the New England Patriots lost to a below average quarterback last season in the divisional round.
That loss was more on the offense/ST's than the defense. The way that game played out, Brady did not have to be perfect and the only reason the Jets scored so much is because they started in our territory 4 times (twice inside our 30).
Point is if we play efficiently on offense this defense has a solid shot to hold up. They didn't have a fair shot in the game you're referring to so it's not a strong reference.
