Overview
- The Patriots are the NFL’s only team this season to finish unbeaten away from home after rolling past the Jets at MetLife Stadium.
- New England’s road sweep is the franchise’s third such season (2007, 2016) and one of roughly a dozen perfect road campaigns in league history.
- Head coach Mike Vrabel credited preparation, poise in hostile environments, critical situational plays, and an 'unfinished business' mindset for the road success.
- Vrabel became the second coach to go undefeated on the road in his first season with a team, joining George Seifert’s 1989 49ers.
- The division was clinched later Sunday with the Bills’ loss to the Eagles, and Vrabel said healthy players are expected to play in next week’s home finale against the Dolphins.
