NEW YORK (AP) – Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have won six games in a row and steamrolled most of their opponents in the process.
So, it’s little surprise that they maintained their spot as the top team in the NFL.
The Patriots (8-2) received eight of 12 first-place votes Tuesday for the AP Pro32 power rankings, which are decided by a media panel that regularly covers the league.
The Patriots are coming off a 42-20 rout of the Indianapolis Colts on the road Sunday night.
Running back Jonas Gray led the Patriots offense with 201 yards – a stat change Tuesday put him over the 200 mark – and four touchdowns.
