Little of both, the Pats run defense has been better and they're starting to get at the QB. There's no question the defensive secondary is shakey, but if you can get at the QB then they're not sticking guys as long and it will help them out. Part of what killed them the first half of the season was QB sitting back there all day.

I feel better after this game going into the playoffs then I did last week, Tampa has a good team and also a good defense, and the Pats were able to shut down the offense and score on the defense.

Division in clinched, wouldn't be shocked with Brady banged up to see Flutie get some game time the last 2 games.

I like the Pats in round 1, against Jacksonville or Pittsburg, SD did beat the Pats in the regular season, but in New England in mid january it could be a good game, don't like the Pats chances vs. KC, I think their offense would just be too much...

Round #2, While I think the Pats will make more of a game out of it now, I don't see them beating Indy. I'll root for them and anything is possible, but I wouldn't put money on anyone over Indy in Indy this year.
