The New England Patriots are 10-1 and have one of the best defenses in NFL history. And yet, there's a problem that's nagging at Patriots nation, a big reason to doubt the team that has spent the last 18 years erasing all the doubts. The questions are there in the local media, and you can hear them on sports radio:
What's wrong with the Patriots' offense?
The Patriots may rank fifth in the league in scoring, but that's in large part because of the great field position delivered by their defense -- not to mention the six touchdowns scored on defense or special teams. In terms of yards gained, the Patriots rank only 17th in the league. New England is used to being at the top of the league, not in the middle.
So where are the biggest weaknesses in this offense, and can they be fixed over the rest of the season?
