It's a numbers thing

Oh, I'm sorry Anthony Smith ... you were saying something about a guaranteed Steelers' win on Sunday? Meet Randy Moss.

Been reading a lot about the Patriots and I've picked up a few bits and pieces about the insane numbers their offense has put up so far this season (all this with three games to go):

• Patriots QB Tom Brady has 44 TDs this season, four shy of Peyton Manning's 2005 record.
  
• Brady has more touchdown passes than the rest of the AFC East (31) thus far this season.
  
• Brady has more TDs than the combined totals of Brett Favre and Drew Brees (44).
  
• He has the exact combined TD totals of Peyton and Eli Manning.
  
• Brady has just five interceptions in 476 pass attempts. Dallas' Tony Romo threw that many picks in a single game this season.
  
• Pats WR Randy Moss has 19 TD catches and 1264 yards this season ... three TDs shy of Jerry Rice's record.
  
• WR Wes Welker has 93 receptions for 974 yards and 8 TDs.
  
• As a team, the Patriots are averaging 38.7 points per game ... the record is 38.8 points set in 1950 by the Los Angeles Rams.
  
• The Patriots thus far have an average margin of victory of 21.6 points. The largest average margin of victory by an NFL team (26.5 points per game) was set by the 1942 Chicago Bears.
  
• The Patriots have scored 503 points this season so far and are on pace to set a new NFL record for points if they average 17.7 points per game over their last three games. The record for points in a season is 556, set by the 1998 Minnesota Vikings ... a team, coincidentally, that featured Randy Moss at WR.
  
• With 65 touchdowns in 13 games, New England could break the NFL record of 70 touchdowns in a season if they score more than two touchdowns per game over the last three games.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's possible the Patriots could break a few of these records when the dust settles on Week 16.
