Outside of their pass rush, there really wasn’t much impressive about the New England Patriots performance on Sunday. When hosting the Indianapolis Colts, the Pats had nine sacks with Matt Judon and Josh Uche both recording three of them.
However, their own offense was anemic under Mac Jones as they had to settle for four field goals from Nick Folk in their 26-3 victory. The win moves them to 5-4 which is last place in the AFC East as that division ended up turning into what we all thought the AFC West was going to be.
If the offense can somehow become consistent and the defense can keep playing lights out, they could make a run. Never count out a team that’s coached by Bill Belichick.

15. Tampa Bay Bucs
There was a time when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Los Angeles Rams would have been a high-scoring affair. That wasn’t the case this weekend as neither team was very impressive on offense. Or at least they weren’t until there was under a minute to play.
That’s when Tom Brady decided to turn it up a notch as he started off a 60-yard drive with a 28-yard pass to Cade Otton then finished it with a one-yard game-winner to Otton with just nine seconds remaining as they pulled off a 16-13 win.
Now at 4-5, the Bucs are still the favorites to win the underwhelming NFC South and we saw why this weekend. At any given moment, they can look like the team we’ve seen the past two seasons.”
