From their days in Boston in the American Football League to the days of Tom Brady at Gillette Stadium, the Patriots have existed since the 1960s.
Never, in the 62-season history of the franchise, have they attempted as few passes as they did Monday night against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.
In a 14-10 win on Monday Night Football dominated by wind gusts of up to 50 mph, Mac Jones attempted just three passes for New England, setting a new mark for the franchise for fewest pass attempts in a game -- beating out another game with infamous weather conditions from 1982.
