It hasn’t felt like a rewarding season so far for the New England Patriots, but even in a year marred with disappointment, multiple players have stood out on the roster.
Most of those players have been on the defensive side of the ball. Despite being riddled with injuries, the Patriots' defense has competed valiantly on a weekly basis.
With a banged-up roster in Week 10, they somehow managed to hold the Indianapolis Colts’ top-10 scoring offense to just 10 points. At the beginning of the season, they looked like one of the best defensive units in the NFL.
