New England Patriots 2007 Season Stats Breakdown

Probably the most memorable stat for the New England Patriots this past season was 18, the win total and the infamous chant of all the insanely happy anti-New England fans out there who reveled in the collapse of a perfect season on the biggest stage in sports. However, let’s move on to some of the better numbers that the Pats put up over the course of the year.

The New England offense gained 6,580 all-purpose yards and scored an amazing 589 points, both the best-in-class in the NFL. They were similarly number one in passing yards and passing touchdowns, thanks to record-breaking seasons by Randy Moss and Tom Brady. Rushing was not nearly as effective, although when you’re that good through the air, why bother handing it off? The Patriots were a mere 15th in the league in total rushing yards in 2007. They got things done in the red zone, though, accruing 17 rushing TDs, good for 5th in the NFL.

Defense was not the bright spot for the Pats, though they were certainly not miserable on that side of the ball. Two glaring stats stink up an otherwise excellent overall ranking list. The Patriots were ranked 18th in the NFL in allowing passing TDs (23 on the season) and they allowed 4.4 yards per carry on the ground, the 26th worst in the league. Blame it on the older linebackers?
