Patriots legend admits to turning off games due to poor defensive play

Related Topics: Patriots, Vince Wilfork

Former New England Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork did not hold back when discussing the team's defense last season. He claimed the defense was so bad at times that he turned the television off.

There's no arguing against the defensive struggles of the Patriots last season. They ranked in the bottom half of the league in total defense with the team allowing an average of 343.4 yards per game. They also gave up 24.5 points per game with opposing offenses scoring over 40 points against them twice and at least 30 points six times.

"A lot of games I turned off because of that," Wilfork told Mass Live’s Karen Guregian.
