FRESH OFF A TAKEAWAY, HOW DOES THE PATRIOTS OFFENSE PERFORM?

After 14 minutes of miserable football Thursday night, it looked like the Patriots were going to be right back in the game with a pick 6 by rookie Myles Bryant.  A quick review took the points off the board and put the offense on the field.  What happened 3 plays later was not what any New England fan wanted to see.  Instead of it becoming a one score game, the Patriots were down 17-0.  This got me thinking (again), "How often do we not score after a takeaway?"   

Fast forward a few days and I went through all of the Patriots play by play data for the past 3 seasons to see what the offense did after a takeaway.  Since field location, time left in half, and score of game matters a whole lot in respect to what I was looking at, I then focused on the takeaways which gave them a short field and reasonable opportunity to score.  Here is what I found.

INSIDE OPPONENTS 50-

• 6 turnovers
• 4 punts
• 13 field goals
• 15 touchdowns

INSIDE OPPONENTS 25-

• 2 turnovers
• 0 punts
• 6 field goals
• 9 touchdowns

Since you're now curious about which numbers are from this year
