First edge to the Pats.
They were the home team and elected against wearing the traditional blue uniforms because they'd make it too hard for Brady to pick up receivers - the eight-foot wall around the stadium is dark blue w/ purple. Pats elect to wear white road uniform to make it easier to see their guys on offense.

12 out of the last 16. Parity is a myth in the AFC, and certainly the AFC East.spike wrote:Except it hasn't worked in the AFC.

I didn’t say it was working, but it’s been the goal of the NFL. In the Pats case, there have been multiple instances of the league changing rules specifically to make things harder for them.spike wrote:Except it hasn't worked in the AFC.
