2019 AFC Championship Game: Now would be a good time for the Patriots to overcome their road issues

The 2018 season is a tale of two New England Patriots teams — one that went 9-0 at Gillette Stadium and outscored its opponents by an average margin of 15.9 points, and one that lost three of its five away games and has a -2.4 average point differential when playing outside of Massachusetts. With the AFC Championship Game coming up on Sunday, now would be a good time for the Patriots to turn their road fortunes around.

Historically, the dynasty-era Patriots have been relatively successful when traveling. Since 2001, the team has won 68% of its regular season and postseason road games — going 102-48 in the process — and finished with losing records away from Foxboro just two times.
