Actually it was the same defense except Rowe was in Butlers place. The SS and FS played the same roles all season in the big nickel that they played in the SB. Suggesting they were out of position is ignorant when they did all season when we played a boatload of big nickel.Bad, but mostly because the Starting #2 cb was riding the pine for missing his flight two weeks prior to the game, And so the SS had to play out of position, which meant the FS had to play out of position, Which resulted in a third stringer playing significant snaps, and a 4th stringer being on the field.
The bend but don't break defense got them to the superbowl.
The defense they put on the field in the superbowl was NOT the patriots defense from the season, so comparing ppg is meaningless.
