I was thinking this morning that the Patriots were not able to get the vertical game going the way they were hoping they could. They made adjustments but again, the Bengals were going to live or die by the pass rush and though they came up short, they were in the backfield a lot last night.

I disagree--I think this is a function of the zone blocking scheme--the defenders are pulled into the backfield as the OL spreads the opposing DL out and creates running lanes. Tom was sacked once and drew a RTP call for that slap to his helmet. This was actually the second best Offensive output of the season after last week, as the SD and NYJ games involved defensive and special teams points.
