Baltimore, Pitt, Seattle, Atlanta, Carolina and Minn. all gave up plenty of points this week, vaulting NE's defense - probably temporarily - into the top 5 in PPG. That's hilarious.

How have they done it? 

They couldn't simplify it more, so what's changed?

1.  Players stopped giving massive chunk plays from mental errors.

2.  A good handful of players - Butler, Gilmore, Chung, Branch, Van Noy, Harris, Jones - have all played significantly better post-September.  

3.  Some players that were getting too many reps have gotten snaps cut back a bit and other players have gotten more snaps.  

4.  We played a very tough slate of offenses in the first four weeks of the season and it's been a bit easier since then.

5.  Jones has emerged as a reliable slot CB.  Something Butler and Gilmore are not particularly good at.
