Though the New England Patriots don’t have nearly their best team in recent years, don’t tell that to Tom Brady.  After holding off the Redskins and winning a tough 34-27 game on the road, the Patriots are now 10-3 and in a commanding position in the AFC East, which they have absolutely dominated for the last decade.  The Patriots once again showed their lack of talent on defense, but it simply doesn’t matter when you have Tom Brady clicking on offense.  Even though Brady threw an uncharacteristic interception in the back of the endzone late in the game, Brady still is putting together an MVP-caliber season and leading the Patriots toward the top of the AFC in the process.

And the beautiful thing about this Patriots team is that they don’t have to be perfect.  Looking around the league, even the elite teams have imperfections or straight up flaws – including the Green Bay Packers.  The Patriots are pushing forward and may have a chance at getting the first seed in the AFC, which would make their road to the Superbowl relatively easy and they’ve always been a very difficult team to beat at home in the postseason.  Though most of the talk this season has been on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, it would be very New England Patriots if Brady and Bill Belichick pulled out yet another ring this season.  You might not want to bet against them from here on out.
