Mina Kimes on the Patriots’ defense: While much of the Patriots discussion in the offseason has revolved around the team’s offense — and the ways in which its disastrous performance in 2022 can be fixed — New England also possesses a talented defense.
The Patriots finished 11th in points allowed last season, and eighth in total yards allowed. Beyond that, advanced stats like weighted DVOA (via Football Outsiders) hold New England in higher regard.
