That's quite an offensive juggernaut they have going up in Foxboro. Year in and year out, the Patriots keep putting up big offensive numbers.
As part of our research of the fantasy game, we log every play inside the 10 yard line. We like to look at how effective teams are in that area, and who's getting the ball. These aren't official NFL stats (they include, for example, 2-point conversions, which aren't mixed with regular stats by the league).
Nevertheless, I notice that New England last year ran more plays than any other team inside the 10. Again.
Over the last six years, the Patriots have run over 110 plays inside the 10 three teams - the three highest totals by any team.
