"It was pointed out to Albert Haynesworth yesterday how much the Patriots defense had improved from 2010 in terms of third-down defense, as the Dolphins converted only twice in 14 attempts during Monday night's game.

Sounding a lot like Patriots coach Bill Belichick, Haynesworth suggested that stat was nice, but then the defensive tackle pointed to another statistic that wasn't quite as flattering.

"I think we were 4-of-5 on fourth-down (stops)," Haynesworth said. "Again, you got to get off the field. We've got to stop them. We just got to play even better as a front, and as a defense. If we want to be that top-ranked defense, we've got to play like it.""
