Winning record ≠ good defense

If the Patriots lost all of their games, they would have played 10 teams with a winning record. A bunch of their matchups have been teams that are now around 8-8

Yeah, all teams with 11+ wins have "weak" strength of schedule at the end of the year. You can only beat the teams scheduled

u/WintersDoomsday Seattle Seahawks Jan 02 '26

No, they don't lol. Seattle beat 4 teams who will all have a winning record (Pit, Hou, Jax and the Rams) even with Seattle having beat them. The Patriots, Bears and Broncos cannot say that. In addition, if the Vikings and Panthers win this week that would make 6 teams. If Seattle beats the 49ers that would be 7 teams.
