Matthew Judon was signed by the Patriots this offseason to a four-year $56 million contract. He started off the season as a dominant playmaker, and at one point had\u00a0(+2500)<\/strong> odds to win the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award according to BetOnline.ag<\/a>. This was good for seventh in the league.<\/p>\n

PPG: 30.3<\/td>\nPPG: 29.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
PPG Allowed: 25.8<\/td>\nPPG Allowed:\u00a0 18.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
