FOXBORO — Thanks to a pair of turnovers in the last two games, the Patriots defense is finally starting to see the fruit of its labor.

The two fumbles and two interceptions were a result of a mix of getting to the quarterback, winning one-on-one battles and being in the right place at the right time.

Through 12 games, the Patriots have 13 takeaways with seven interceptions and six fumble recoveries. The recent spike has benefitted the team’s offense as it has resulted in two touchdowns, a field goal and kneeling out a game.
