Perfect Part 1

Yes the New England Patriots have not only completed the first 16-0 regular season in NFL history but they were setting records along the way.

Tom Brady set the regular season TD record with 50. Randy Moss set the receiving record with 23. The Pats themselves set the NFL scoring record topping the 1998 Minnesota Vikings in total points. They had a strong defense all year so it wasn't a lopsided achievement.

The next goal is 19-0 and will likely happen as the road to the Super Bowl goes through Foxboro, weather and all. The Indianapolis Colts have the best shot but as I blogged before they play poorly in cold weather. They have also been inconsistent in their play. At times looking less than average.

There has never been a team this perfect in every dimension of the game. Teams have been close but not this close. History will show that this team is the benchmark for what teams will strive for in the future even if they don't win the Super Bowl.
