New England Patriots: 3 Vital statistics for 2019 season

The start of a new NFL season is just over three months away. So here’s a look at some key numbers when it comes to the powerhouse New England Patriots.

There are numerous ways to look at teams in every sport, especially during the offseason. From biggest strengths and weaknesses to top additions and subtractions. From best and worst drafts to biggest needs. From a team like the New England Patriots to the bottom-feeders. It’s quite a list.

But it’s always fun when you decide to dive into the numbers, provided you understand the context. There’s a thought out there that they never lie. Of course, some opt to twist those figures and try to make them do what they personally want them to do.

The latter is something to avoid. Here is a look at the first of all 32 NFL teams in a statistical sense. Be it history or excellence or an area that could use some improvement. Again, context is essential here.

Rather than the alphabetical look, this series will begin with the reigning Super Bowl champion Patriots and work its way down to the Arizona Cardinals in a reversal of the 2019 NFL Draft order. Bill Belichick’s club finished 11-5 this past season and got hot when it counted most during the playoffs. The club’s 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII was the franchise’s sixth league title.

So here’s a look at some three key figures when it comes to the NFL’s reigning dynasty in terms of the upcoming season. What do the following numbers really mean? There’s some more history to be made and certainly, there is room for improvement in certain aspects for Belichick’s club as well.
