Taking care of the football sits firmly atop Bill Belichick’s list of priorities. And it appears the New England Patriots have listened closely to their head coach over the years.

According to the charting of the Philly Voice’s Jimmy Kempski, no team in the NFL has accrued fewer giveaways than the Patriots since 2011.

New England has handed the ball back to the opponent only 80 times through those five seasons, good for an average of only one interception or fumble per game.

The Patriots turned it over 14 times in 2011, 13 times in 2012, 20 times in 2013, 16 times in 2014 and 17 times in 2015 to compile that tally of 80, which stands in stark contrast with the Philadelphia Eagles’ 161 over that span.

And while it certainly helps when a quarterback like Tom Brady leads the league interception percentage – tossing just seven over the course of his 624 passes last season – the backs, receivers and returners have done their part to protect the rock as well.

New England fumbled just 14 times in 2015, losing only seven, which ranked third-best among all 32 clubs.

That, along with the defense taking the ball away 21 times, gave the Patriots a plus-seven turnover differential.
