The Patriots won that game because of one great ST play, not because of anything Tom Terrific did. Horrid weather conditions, neither offense able to move the ball. It's exactly games like that, that defense or ST needs to make a big play to win the game. The Pats had a great ST and very good def, get turnovers, shorten the field and create opportunities for the offense and that's what they did.
It's not a big surprise that playoff teams are also at the top in turnover differential. For a team to be successful, the other 2 phases have to create opportunities and ours simply didn't.
Score more points and offenses will play less safe with the ball causing sacks and turnovers.
