The Indy defense knocked the snot out of the Patriots offense for three quarters Sunday, but New England remains on pace to set the all-time NFL scoring record.
The Patriots average 39.44 PPG (355 points in 9 games), a shade ahead of the record mark of 38.83 PPG set by the 1950 Rams (466 points in 12 games).
It's also worth nothing that the 2007 Patriots have already scored more points than the Super Bowl champion 2003 Patriots did over the course of the entire season (348) and will probably surpass the 371 points scored by the Super Bowl champion 2004 Patriots in their next game at Buffalo on November 18.
New England hung 38 on Buffalo in their first meeting this year.
What are the odds that the Patriots could continue their record setting pace?
Well, it won't be easy.
Well, here's a look at the scoring defense of their final seven opponents
Buffalo - 19.5 PPG, 13th (NE scored 38 on Buffalo earlier this season)
Philly - 19.4 PPG, 12th
Baltimore - 17.0 PPG, 6th
Pittsburgh - 13.0 PPG, 1st
