LONDON - Despite the first-half handwringing the Patriots have caused and endured, they can go into their bye with the same record as the 2011 team that made the Super Bowl. That team, with similar afflictions to this year's model, was 5-3; a win by this Patriots team on Sunday at Wembley over the Rams will put them at 5-3.
Getting there? Hopefully, it will be easier than getting back and forth from the UK may be.
