Don’t overthink it. The Patriots should do what they do. Play man.

Mahomes Week 6 (first half) vs. man coverage: 6-for-13, 49 yards, 2 picks, 16.6 rating.

Mahomes Week 6 (full game) vs. man coverage: 11-for-22, 91 yards, 2 TDs, 2 picks, 53.4 rating.

That begs the question, if playing man is so successful against Mahomes why did we switch away from it during the game? Exhaustion?

They better not play zone.

I’m preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. We’re going to have to do something that hasn’t been done in 12 years but I’m not counting BB and Tom out. I also think it’s a plus that the altitude isn’t different.

4 more hours !!! Let's do this !!! Should be a good game.

 

[Wheelman]

Loudest rated stadium in the world. Filled with fans who hates the Patriots. Defense that leads the league in sacks.

Sounds like a Tom Brady game.

Every stadium has fans that hate Brady and the Patriots, no difference today

What’s his numbers vs Zone?

I think we will find out quickly how this game is going to go.

28-3 will be a lot tougher to overcome this time...

Nervous as heck as usual . I have this 2015 vibe when everyone thought we would win in denver

 

[Kdo5]

It will be a close game but I think the Chiefs take this one. My expert opinion.

New England Patriots
✔ @Patriots

It was comeback season for the mentally and physically tough @Edelman11.

Today, he takes in the field in his sixth career AFC Championship game.

I won’t be upset if they give up a long drive touchdown. I’ll be upset if they keep giving up big plays.

Went more Cover 3 to prevent the big play and make Mahomes throw to targets.

Big ST plays and Hill running right though the zone D threw it back in Flo's face.

I expect a ton more man today (for obvious reasons) but will mix in some zone so guys can get a breather.

 

[sb1]

D. Williams is like Samuels for the Steelers. Set up for success but certainly not near the caliber of the guys they are replacing.

Pats were terrible against Samuels but I think the improvement over the last month starting with the Bills game is encouraging. The Bills and Chargers has really good run offenses.
