Quick postgame notes

Today’s game was the Patriots’ 129th consecutive home sellout, dating back to the 1994 regular-season opener.
* * * *
The Patriots have won 10 of their last 12 home openers. Their last loss was in 2001 to the New York Jets, in the game in which Drew Bledsoe suffered a sheared blood vessel in his chest and Tom Brady became the Pats’ starting quarterback.
* * * *
Bill Belichick now has 100 regular-season victories as an NFL head coach. His record in regular-season games is 100-77, and he is the 31st coach in league history to record 100 wins.
* * * *
Today’s win gave the Patriots a .500 record (356-356-9), including regular-season and playoff games, in their 47-year history. At one point (Nov. 6, 1994), the Pats were 54 games below .500 (228-282-9).

More to come . . .
