The New England Patriots came away with a 17-10 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, avenging their Super Bowl 52 loss (well, kind of). They are 9-1 on the season. They are probably going to score yet another first-round bye.
And yet, it feels like the Patriots have some things to work on.
While New England has looked dominant at times this season, many of its wins have come against bad teams, and on Sunday afternoon, the Pats were barely able to beat an Eagles team that was missing its top two wide receivers.
As a result, Tom Brady thinks his club needs to improve in every area going forward, particularly offensively where it mustered just 289 yards against a much-maligned Philadelphia defense in Week 11.
“Up and down,” Brady said, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. “That’s what it looks like to me. We could probably do everything better.”
Brady added that he thinks “everyone is a little tired” and that the victory over the Eagles was still “a good road win.”
Regardless, it's obvious that Brady is not entirely satisfied with where the Pats are right now, and with the playoffs approaching, the Patriots probably need to get some things right if they want to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
New England's schedule isn't about to get any easier, either.
Over the next three weeks, the Pats will take on the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs, all of whom currently have winning records and may very well end up being playoff teams.
