The Patriots’ 11-year streak of making the playoffs came to an end Sunday following a 22-12 loss to the Dolphins.
Over those 11 seasons, the Patriots won the AFC East each and every year. They also won three Super Bowls and five AFC titles in that span. Let’s put in perspective how unique the 11-year run was by the numbers.
23: While the Patriots were hogging all the AFC East titles from 2009-19, 23 other teams won a division title at some point during that span. All four teams in the NFC East and NFC West actually won a division title over those 11 seasons.
