It's worked all season. win.
Really? Where is your proof of that? Epic fail until you prove otherwise.
BTW, the reason it was so successful Sunday is because the Steelers have been burnt by it all year. Courtesey of Mike Reiss:
http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-...4687264/play-action-a-weakness-for-both-teamsFOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One area to watch Sunday night is play-action passing, as both the Patriots and Steelers defenses have shown vulnerability.
According to ESPN Stats & Information tracking, each team has allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete more than 70 percent of their play-action passes.
Some statistics from ESPN Stats & Information:
Patriots defense against play-action
Completion percentage: 74.2
Yards/attempt: 9.5
Passer rating: 98.4
Steelers defense against play-action
Completion percentage: 77.3
Yards/attempt: 9.0
Passer rating: 111.6
So it had nothing to do with BJGE, but the Steelers' defense. The Pats don't run a lot of play action, but they did Sunday because the Steelers suck against it. Win on my part.
