New England Patriots’ Notes

The New England Patriots are nearly two touchdown favorites vs the New York Jets, in a bid to clinch a home division round game for an incredible ninth straight season.

I liken this era of Pats football (2001-2018) to that of the San Francisco 49ers, twenty years earlier, (1981-1998).

To this point, each team won 5 NFL/Super Bowl crowns, in each case, the first ever titles for the franchise.

In future posts, I will cite the Pats/49ers incredibly similar 18 year periods of essentially sustained great performance.
