Quiz: Do you know the Patriots?



Will Tom Brady and the Pats rewrite the record book in 2007?
This season, the New England Patriots seem poised to break numerous individual, team, and NFL records. Naturally, there have been record breaking teams before, but what makes the Patriots unique is the sheer dominance they have exhibited for much of the 2007 season.

As New England looks to rewrite the record books, our research staff at ESPN is interested in how well SportsNation knows Bill Belichick's boys and the marks they are chasing. Who is the only starting quarterback, since 1950, to have a better winning record than Tom Brady? Which team last beat the Patriots in a regular season game? And which team will the Patriots surpass if they set the record for most touchdowns in a season?

Do you think you can go 10-for-10 on the quiz? Step right up and test your NFL knowledge!
