700[0 Yard] Club Watch
The New England Patriots only gave up 375 yards and 17 points to the New York Jets on Sunday. Far and away their best performance of the season. They’re still on pace to break the Saints record of 7,042 yards.

The Patriots have little margin for error this season. Through 7 weeks every team in the AFC East is .500 or above and within a game of the Patriots. The Bills and Dolphins have the #1 and #3 scoring defenses in the league and the Patriots have the third-worst. Even the Jets, who the Patriots just needed a miracle to beat on Sunday, are #13 in scoring defense.
