I have a gameplan to beat the Patriots.
Since we know the offense cannot be stopped, they key is to keeping the ball out of their hands. Now, you can't force 3-and-outs, so i think the opposing teams should let them score on their first play.
Then, the opposing offense needs a long slow drive down the field, and must result in a touchdown. There is no way to win unless you score a TD every time you touch the ball.
Now, when the Patirots go back on offense, you let them score again on the first play. You get the ball again, and have another long, slow drive. The defense has had all of two minutes rest at this point, and been on the field for 20 minutes. Again, you have to score.
Repeat this every throughout the game. By the end of the game, time of possession will be Patriots 10 mins, opponent 50 minutes.
By the end of the game, the defense will be so tired they won't be able to stop you. You then go for a two point conversion on your last possession to win the game.
If you match the Patriots score for score, you should win 71-70.
It's so crazy, it just might... oh who am I kidding. It won't work.
