PATRIOTS VS. SEAHAWKS

QUICK FACTS
-- This is the first time the Patriots and Seahawks have played in Foxboro since 2004, the Pats' longest current stretch between home games against an opponent. Prior to this, the Pats' longest streak between home games was against the Panthers (Oct. 29, 1995 to Dec. 13, 2009).

-- The Pats and Seahawks played 12 times in a 14-year span from 1980-93, but only four times since then (2004, 2008, 2012 and in the 2014 Super Bowl).

-- The Patriots are 46-11 (.807) against NFC teams since the 2002 realignment, the best interconference record in the NFL over that span.

-- The Patriots are 26-17 on Sunday Night Football, including 1-0 in 2016 (a 23-21 Opening Night win in Arizona on Sept. 11).

MILESTONES
-- The Patriots did not throw an interception in the first eight games of 2016, breaking the team record for most games at the beginning of a season without an interception. If they don't throw a pick tonight, they will tie the NFL record for most games at the start of a season without a pick (9), set by the 1960 Browns.

-- A victory tonight will give the Patriots their eighth win of the year and a guarantee them a record of .500 or better for the 16th consecutive year. Each of the other 31 NFL teams has had at least one losing season over that span.

-- Tom Brady has won 198 games (176 regular season, 22 playoffs) in his career, the third-highest total for a quarterback in NFL history. He needs one to tie second-place Brett Favre (199) and two to tie first-place Peyton Manning (200).
