NERBACK
Kyle Arrington -- 56 of 56
Darrelle Revis -- 45 of 56
Brandon Browner -- 39 of 56
Logan Ryan -- 26 of 56
Malcolm Butler -- 15 of 56
Quick-hit thoughts: Arrington is usually the team's No. 3 corner, as he played 40.0 percent of the defensive snaps during the season. But he drew the assignment of starter to guard Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton and he was terrific in limiting Hilton to one catch for 36 yards, which was a terrific play by Andrew Luck and Hilton. The Patriots used Browner on tight end Coby Fleener, but not all the time, sometimes taking Browner off the field to mix up their looks. The plan was successful as the Colts' varied options on offense had the Patriots using all five of their corners. Revis came off late when the outcome was in hand, but also missed a few snaps in the first half while undergoing protocol for a concussion.

It's early to discuss matchups and whatnot, but we may be better suited using the same strategy vs. Seattle?
Baldwin - Revis
Kearse - Arrington/McCourty double team
Willson - Browner
Arrington has been so great this year. We probably win the GB game if he doesn't miss the first half.
