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.

Given that the Patriots theme is Revolutionary War based, and they use men with muskets, I would call the defense "The Continental Line" after the soldiers of that war. Very apropo....

Their nickname should be "The Wall" for the obvious reasons.
