Let these numbers sink in.
I'm telling you, At Gillette after a bye week, the Patriots can put up 23 points against any NFL
defense that has ever existed, including Pro Bowl/All Star.
4. The magic number against the Chiefs is 23: When his opponents score 23 or more points, Alex Smith is 3-41-1 over the course of his career, including the postseason. Since 2000 including the postseason, the Patriots are 171-14 when scoring 23 or more points. Also, since 2001 including the postseason, the Patriots are 158-16 when holding their opponents to 23 points or less.
