Relying on more of a coverage-based style, they only blitzed three times.
The breakdown looked like this:
Three-man rush -- 2
Four-man rush -- 17
Five-man rush -- 2
Six-man rush -- 1
Two quick passes to Chansi Stuckey were not accounted for in the breakdown because the ball was out of Sanchez's hands so quickly.
The Jets were 1 of 3 for 5 yards against the blitz.
Defensive coordinator Dean Pees was asked today if the Patriots received the type of rush that they were anticipating.
"We can always improve in the rush, but also, some of it was the plan to play some coverage, and some of it was designed to try to put some pressure on him," Pees said. "We didn't always get there like we wanted to, but really, we just have to improve in both the coverage part of it and the rush part of it."
