After two close shaves against sub-.500 teams, have the New England Patriots been exposed as over-hyped

The 4-7 (now 4-8) Baltimore Ravens got within 2 yards of beating the undefeated New England Patriots, who a week earlier escaped another close game against the Philadelphia Eagels. After these two less impressive wins, many are beginning to doubt whether the Pats are truly one of the greatest teams ever, or whether they can go undefeated for the remaining 4 regular season games. If they do, they will become only the second team ever to go undefeated in modern football, and the first since the adoption of a 16-game schedule.
