Patriots, for now, back to being beasts of East

Some things are aberrations: For example, the 2008 AFC East title residing somewhere other than New England, where it has been held captive for six of the eight seasons since 2001.

It's not the Patriots, it's the Patriots 'culture of winning', worked for, built up, and now with an established legacy. When it is there it is there for a while. Some teams get it and lose it (Redskins, Niners, Bills), some teams have never had it (Bengals, Cardinals), and some teams focus on the culture that sees them through the bad years back into the winners circle (Steelers, Cowboys and maybe the Giants). More than winning the Superbowl the Patriots, led by Mr. Kraft and BB are on the way to joining the Steelers and Cowboys with a solid winning culture that will stay with them for decades.
