The Patriots' defense has been huge at home all season, allowing just 68 points. They pitched three shutouts. They've made the key plays when it has counted. It's time Patriots Nation gives this unit a nickname. Send in your suggestions.

It is most certainly NOT time to give the Patriots defensive unit a nickname. This is the team that eschewed individual introductions at the Super Bowl. All honor for the Patriots should be accorded to the team as a whole. That's what keeps them winning.

With the New England wheather the way it is I believe the Defenses nick name should be " The Ice Curtain"
