This defense is elite

[FourierSeries]

Let's all admit it.

21 points given up to the #7 offense of all time, with numerous clutch stops on 3rd down. Oh, and SB champs.

 

[VrabelJr]

7 points in the second half

One thing I know for sure is Trey Flowers is a BEAST.

Thank you.

But yards

 

[JMC00]

Wonder what Collins and Jones are doing......

 

[JMC00]

But yards

Held Atlanta to 344, which was the Pats defense season average and was 70 yards below Atlanta's season average

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Defense had some lapses but they just kept a historically good offense to 7 points in a full second half on the biggest stage -- including making a few absolutely must have plays. D was huge!

 

[Ring 6]

The patriot defense took the field 4 times after it was 28-3 knowing allowing any points probably meant a loss. They allowed NOTHING and let TOM BRADY DO HIS JOB.

 

[RobertWeathers]

ATL was 1-8 on 3rd down.

Damn.

Greetings,
I seriously see him being an All-Pro candidate next season. I try not to hype guys up to much but he's constantly improving and makes so many big plays in the biggest of games. Love his work ethic and versatility!!

They were amazing in the 2nd half

 

[mosi]

Yes, they brought it the whole game. Really did. I love Logan Ryan who said when the Pats won the O/T coin toss, he undid the laces on his shoes because he knew his day was done!

I criticized the defense at the beginning of the season and halfway through I started to see the light and believe. Defense definitely played great this game. Only 7 points in the second half was a major part in their ability to come back and win. Honestly I only say the defense gave up 14 points. Those other 2 scores were the Offenses fault.

 

[JMC00]

Ryan got pressured on 16 of his 28 dropbacks.

 

[Fixit]

They need to face a real QB, homers.

 

[Bruins29]

Jangeles said its the eye test that matters most

 

[Marqui]

ATL was 1-8 on 3rd down.

Damn.

My favorite stat. I have to say they are elite in that aspect. They should be a true juggernaut next year with a good free agency and draft.

I'm super excited about Trey Flowers and what he can become. He just had a bigger playoff impact in 1 game than Chandler Jones in his entire time here. Him and HT are co defensive MVPS of this game.
