Dan Orlovsky’s breakdown of the Patriots’ offense: Amid a 10-game winning streak, and an unexpected share of the (current) top spot in the AFC, the Patriots turnaround from back-to-back 4-13 seasons can be attributed to a number of factors. As ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky recently pointed out, part of it is simply keeping track of a fundamental component of the offense.
“One of the things I love about New England, and has been the case all season long: Every play starts with, ‘How are we going to protect it?'” said Orlovsky, referencing New England’s offensive line.
