If the regular season ended today, the New England Patriots would be the number one seed in the AFC playoffs. While Patriots fans expected the team to take a big leap under Mike Vrabel in his first year as the team's head coach, many probably didn't have the team being this good on their bingo card.
While the team is obviously talented and well-coached, former Patriots great Devin McCourty offered another reason why the team could very well be for real this year and it's probably not something many others would point to. McCourty appeared on The Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday and was asked how threatening the Patriots are this season.
