-O Line is at a dominant level at both pass & run blocking
-Devin McCourty playing much better
-Overall pass defense has been outstanding for the last couple of months
-Edelman back to who he was before the injury
-Tom is Tom
-Hightower is back to old Hightower

I would certainly hope the Patriots pass defense has looked outstanding the last couple of months. They've played one of the weakest schedules in the NFL in that regard.
