Also makes me question Maye's success a bit too. No doubt he's been awesome, but the Pats have had the easiest SOS in the league this year by a large margin (their opponents winning percentage is .357, the 2nd easiest SOS so far is Buffalo at .431). But not only that, they have the easiest remaining SOS in the league too by a decent margin (.358 vs. .382 for the 2nd easiest remaining SOS).
Jayden Daniels also had a really light SOS last year and we've seen the Commanders come crashing back down the earth with a more difficult slate this year (albeit with injuries including to Daniels himself)
But seriously though, the Pats schedule this year might be one of the easiest I've ever seen.
