The defense once again dominated, shutting out the New England Patriots for only the second time at home in the last 30 years. Tyrann Mathieu got the game started by taking an interception back for a touchdown, and they did not let up from there. They held New England to just 156 yards of offense and forced eight punts. The Patriots offense was not that impressive heading into this game, but anytime you can shutout an opponent in the NFL it’s something to be very happy about.
