The Patriots have allowed 13 touchdowns in opponents’ 24 trips inside their 20-yard line this season. Those numbers place them 20th in the league.
“That’s definitely a point where we always want to be strong,” defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said. “We want to be able to walk away making them kick a field goal instead of kicking an extra point.”
