Rodney Harrison knows all about the stress and strain of striving for perfection. He was on the 2007 Patriots team that fell just short of making an indelible mark on history, losing their only game of the year to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
As he watches the 2015 Patriots, now at 9-0, in the midst of another run at perfection, he actually puts some credence into those who hold the view a loss would be beneficial to the Pats before the postseason because it would eliminate the added pressure and burden associated with achieving the rare feat.
