FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When it comes to the New England Patriots (2-0) and the number 12, the spotlight naturally shines on quarterback Tom Brady.
But after a lockdown start to the 2019 season, the "12" that has everyone buzzing is something altogether different: The Patriots haven't allowed a touchdown in 12 straight quarters, dating back to Super Bowl LIII, which is the longest streak in team history.
As No. 12 said himself in a social media post, the Patriots' defense is "balling." Brady also noted how that takes pressure off the offense.
