Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski Among NFL's Statistical Leaders Through Week 10
BOSTON (CBS) -- With Week 11 of the NFL season set to begin Thursday night with the scintillating matchup of the 2-7 Titans and 3-6 Jaguars, what better time than now to take a look at some stats?
Statistics, of course, are for losers, as Bill Belichick has reminded us in the past. Yet, his team has yet to lose despite having league leaders in a number of areas.
The following stats won't ultimately mean anything on their own, but it will be interesting to see how they compare to the numbers at the end of the season. It may stand to reason that many of these numbers will assuredly drop following the losses of Julian Edelman and Dion Lewis. Yet it will speak volumes about Tom Brady and the rest of the offense, particularly, if these rankings hold up at the end of the year.
But for now, here's where the Patriots rank in the NFL through 10 weeks of the 2015 season.
