The four-time champions "New England Patriots" are hitting news headlines with continuously winning the matches. But if there is a question on whether this team is capable of winning the "Super Bowl 2016", it needs a detailed analysis as the team is standing 2nd in the points table of "NFL 2016" with 8 wins and 2 loss.

The next match of New England Patriots is on Nov. 27 against New York Jets and considering the disappointing performance of Jets in the season, nobody is expecting a miracle. But, the inconsistency of New England Patriots is a big question in winning bigger matches. Just look at the Week 4 match where New England Patriots couldn't score a single point against Buffalo Bills and lost the match. Ironically, Week 3 match the team did not allow opponents, Houston Texans to score a single point.

The most important aspect of New England Patriots that helps in victories is their passing attack. The success of the offense line can be seen in the points scored by the team, also the defense of the team also doing a good job, but can be better. The defense tackles of the team are very good this year but at the same time inconsistency is even hitting the defense is a big concern. Malcom Brown and Alan Branch are hardworking and trying to make the defense strong.

The New England Patriots are also facing issues with coverage as Collins only doing a decent job. Another major issue found with the team is its passing rush. The team actually had a number of good rushers including edge rusher Chandler Jones, interior rusher Dominique Easley etc. but all of them are traded by the New England Patriots management during the season.

For this season, New England Patriots do not have elite pass-rusher who can co-ordinate defending opposing quarterbacks as well as passing attack. But, the quarterback Tom Brady and the offensive line could cover up these issues in the coming matches of NFL 2016, the team think of Super Bowl 2016.
