By Nick Ziegler
The New England Patriots have wrapped up another successful regular season. Who were the top 5 players on the team?
After 16 games, the New England Patriots have had another very successful season. Despite not going 16-0 like some may have hoped, the Patriots were able to finish with a 13-3 record. This tied them with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the best record in the AFC. However, due to the tie-breaker, the Patriots are the No.1 overall seed in the AFC once again.
The Patriots will have the luxury of a bye week in the Wild Card Round, and then they will wait to see who comes up to New England for the Divisional Round. Since the Patriots had such a successful regular season, there were multiple players that had very good years.
To start the season, the Patriots had some issues on both sides of the ball, but they were able to fix them relatively quickly and avoid a disastrous start. For the entire season, the Patriots ended up having some really good players on both sides of the ball. Surprisingly, the Patriots didn’t get a ton of love when it came to Pro Bowl voting, but there were certain players that were deserving.
Now with the regular season over, the Patriots will be focused on repeating as Super Bowl Champions. However, that shouldn’t take away from the accomplishment of some of their players in the regular season. Here are the top 5 players from the regular season for the Patriots.
