Hopefully the screen passes we saw in the second half yesterday will remain in the Pats repertoire the remainder of the season.
In the first half the Pats kept trying to throw the ball down the field, with very little success. A stat was displayed on the screen that Brady had only three completions to WR's at the half and 7 points.
In the second half the offense was much more efficient when the Pats integrated the screen passes. In the end Branch and Welker had 16 combined receptions, some coming off the screen passes. The best way to slow down an aggressive pass rush is with the screen pass.
