Re-watched the game off NFL Rewind today. Looked at it from the 'coach's film' and 'condensed' views, paid special attention to the defense.
I love the return of the press defense; on most plays the corners and 1 safety are up at the receiver in non-obvious passing downs. I've been waiting from 2005-now for the Pats to stop playing that garbage pass D where even on neutral downs the corners are 10 yards off the receiver.
It may be better talent in the secondary, maybe better talent at linebacker, or the D-line (maybe all 3), but whatever it is I'm just GLAD it's back. This defense is nasty. There was a Pats fumble recovery, an interception, and a sack that I think were called back due to penalties. This defense has undergone a complete transformation.
