First Half
Kickoff: Faulk from the NE 12, 17 yd. return, Faulk catches the bouncer but is cut down by Sanders’ man.
Offensive Series #1 Touchdown
Contributor: Pats1
Time: 15:00 remaining in the first quarter
Statistics: 14 plays (5 run, 9 pass), 71 yards (28 run, 43 pass), time of possession was 6:37
Breakdown: 7 green plays (2 run, 5 pass) for 64 yds. (22 run, 42 pass), 1 black play (1 run, 0 pass) for 3 yds., 6 red plays (2 run, 4 pass) for 4 yds. (3 run, 1 pass)
1st and 10 NE 29
Result: Run, Dillon, up the middle, 1 yd.
Offense: 2 WR, Brown tight left, Caldwell wide right, TE Watson down off LT, I-form backfield with Evans at FB and Dillon at RB.
Defense: 4-3, FS tight over Watson, both CBs 5+ yards off.
Blocking: Brown is speared back on the edge by the FS
Watson stands up the RDE then drives him forward
Light doubles the RDT with Mankins
Mankins drives the RDT off before turning inside
Koppen marks the MLB and chases him outside
Neal turns the LDT inside and across the hole
O’Callaghan is beaten around the corner by the LDE
Evans seals the WLB outside
Caldwell seeks out the LCB
Analysis: While the blockers on the left side got very little push, it’s tough to pin the blame on anyone for this. There was a clear hole created by Neal going inside and O’Callaghan going outside, with Evans and Koppen clearing out the MLB and WLB occupying it. The SLB Spikes simply made a great play to swim through the left side traffic and meet a stuttering Dillon at the point of attack.
2nd and 9 NE 30
Result: Pass, Caldwell, quick sideline hook, 5 yds.
Offense: 2 WR, Gabriel wide left, Caldwell wide right, 2 TE, Watson down off LT, Thomas motion right to left wing, Dillon lone RB.
Defense: 4-3, FS sets SLB up over Thomas, both CBs 5+ yards off.
Blocking: Light cuts down the RDE on the edge
Mankins is bull rushed back by the RDT
Koppen sits back in reserve
Neal rides the LDT outside
O’Callaghan attempts a cut at the LDE
Coverage: Gabriel clears the RCB out deep
Thomas draws the SLB into the left flat
Watson curls underneath FS and MLB coverage
Dillon steps through the line and underneath
Caldwell does a sideline comeback pattern on the LCB
Analysis: O’Callaghan’s cut block, which was more like a belly-flop, barely made contact with the LDE, but was still successful in drawing the LDE outside, opening a throwing lane. The LCB was playing well off of Caldwell, giving him plenty of room to start, stop and turn at 5 yards, then haul in the spot-on pass before the LCB spins him down.
3rd and 4 NE 35
Result: Pass, Caldwell, quick sideline hook, 6 yds.
Offense: Shotgun 3 WR, Gabriel left slot, Caldwell wide right, Brown motion right slot to wide left, TE Watson standing right wing, Faulk RB to left of Brady in shotgun.
Defense: 4-2-5 nickel, LDE wide, SLB showing blitz over RG, NB shows blitz after Brown motion, both CBS 5 yards off, FS 5+ yards off Brown.
Blocking: Light rides the RDE outside
Mankins rides the blitzing WLB outside
Koppen stands up the RDT
Neal stands up the LDT
O’Callaghan slides outside to help Watson
Watson rides the LDE outside
Coverage: Brown does a curl with the FS close
Gabriel goes deep in the seam against the RCB
Faulk flares into the left flat uncovered
Caldwell does a sideline comeback pattern on the RCB
Analysis: Buffalo really put the burners on with a speed rush to the outside, but the OL picked it up stride-for-stride. The WLB wasn’t showing blitz at first, but when he started to creep up and Brady noticed, he started coming in. The SLB, who was showing blitz the entire time, backed off on the snap and into coverage. This gave Brady a pristine pocket and clear throwing lane. He would hit Caldwell on the exact same route as the previous play, but with the LCB even softer, protecting against the deep threat with only one deep safety. The NB was bouncing around inside and wasn’t an obstruction to the throw.
1st and 10 NE 41
Result: Pass, Caldwell, Incomplete, sideline fly, pass overthrown.
Offense: 2 WR, Gabriel wide left, Caldwell wide right, 2 TE, Watson down off LT, Thomas down off RT, Dillon lone RB.
Defense: 4-3, SLB tight over Watson, SS 5 yards off Thomas, both CBs 5+ yards off.
Blocking: Light neutralizes the RDE outside
Mankins and Koppen double the RDT
Neal turns the LDT outside
O’Callaghan sits back in reserve
Thomas stands up the LDE
Coverage: Gabriel goes deep on the RCB
Watson curls with the SLB in tight coverage
Caldwell fakes short then beats the LCB deep
Dillon steps through and underneath
Analysis: After working the RCB with two straight short routes, the Pats looked to beat him deep here. That did happen. Unfortunately, and without any pressure, Brady sailed the throw high. Caldwell extended and left his feet, but still could not reach it. A Brady pump-fake short gave Caldwell a good step on the RCB. This was also a semi-play action, with Dillon stopping besides Brady on the pump before turning underneath. Buffalo’s coverage was concentrated at midfield with 2 LB and 2 S zones, but both CBs were in man.
