Devin McCourty’s take on his old team: The Patriots currently hold a share of the AFC’s best record at 9-2, and are riding an eight-game winning streak.
Still, NFL analysts and experts have been reluctant to bestow upon New England the unofficial mantle of “best team in the NFL,” citing (among other reasons) the team’s perceived lack of schedule strength.
The Patriots have so far done their best to ignore the critics, and have marched on with the win streak. Still, opinions might be starting to shift. One of those leading the charge, perhaps not surprisingly, is former Patriots safety Devin McCourty.
