Final Regular Season Stats For New England Patriots Defense

The New England Patriots earned their position at the No. 2 seed in the AFC and the first-round bye. The team played the New York Jets in the Week 17 game, and it was their best game in the season. That’s what fans say. The 2018 season is now written in the history, and it is the right moment to look back at the season that rolled on the defensive side of the ball. The Patriots defense played really well.

When it comes to the Patriots defense, Kyle Van Noy leads the league in tackles. Stephon Gilmore had the best season in his career. He had career-high of 20 passes defended, and took on some of the NFL’s best pass catchers. These are two of the many awesome players for head coach Bill Belichick’s defense.
