Ten weeks of NFL action are in the books and some statistical trends have taken hold across the league. As such, WEEI.com will check in each week through the remainder of the season to see how the Patriots (6-4) are doing statistically in a variety of areas, both on a team level and as individuals.
Pats stats analysis: More than halfway through the season, only the Bills and Cowboys have a better point-differential than the Patriots. … New England is one of just four teams in the league in the top-10 in both points scored (6th) and points allowed (2nd), along with the Bills, Cardinals and Cowboys. … New England is also pretty darn good on third down on both sides of the ball, ranking No. 3 in third down conversions and No. 10 in third down conversions allowed, shutting the Browns out in the latter area until late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win. … Mac Jones’ impressive season continues, his big day against the Browns leaving him with the NFL’s fourth-best completion percentage. … Kendrick Bourne’s playmaking has him moving up the charts a bit, now claiming the 11th-best yards-per-reception in the NFL at 15.8. … With two more touchdown receptions against Cleveland, Hunter Henry is now tied for 5th in the league in touchdown receptions with seven.
