It was the little big men for the Patriots, Dion Lewis and Julian Edelman who did the damage for the Pats offense.
Ryan leads the team with 92 tackles and is solid in run support as well as three QB hits and a sack blitzing from the slot.
This is where we’re supposed to join in on the chorus forewarning you not to overlook the Texans and that they’re a different team than the unit than Week 3
This is our preview of the upcoming Playoff Game for the Patriots against the Texans.
Houston has two big tight ends C.J. Fiedorowicz caught 54 passes for 559 yards and four touchdowns. Ryan Griffin made 50 catches for 442 yards and 2 TDs.
The Patriots will methodically do what they need to do to win, while also minimizing opportunities for Houston to come away with an upset victory. Houston has had issues this season with their special teams coverage. That could set the Patriots up with a short field and a quick score. Once the Pats take a lead this Texan team is in trouble. Their offense does not have the talent to keep up with the Patriots.
Multiple reports out of San Francisco cite sources close to Josh McDaniels saying that IF he leaves the Patriots, the Niners are his team of choice.
The NFL begins with a snoozefest and ends with a bang. The first game pits two quarterback-needy teams and ends with a pair of Super Bowl MVPs
In this episode we looked back at the Patriots victory against the Dolphins.
The New England Patriots are the number one seed in the playoffs. The Pats finished the NFL 2016 regular season with a 14-2 record. Despite the best efforts of Roger Goodell on behalf of certain despicable owners such as Jim Irsay, Woody Jones, John Mara, Jerry Jones, no other team finished with a better record than the Patriots.
Tom Brady was razor sharp once again completing 25-33 for 276 yards and three touchdowns behind a clean pocket for most of the day.
The Patriots defense allowed the least amount of points in the NFL this season with 250, it was also the third lowest amount of the Bill Belichick era.
LeGarrette Blount is no stranger to opposing players taking cheap shots at him, and on Sunday down in Miami he got locked up in a heated exchange with Ndamukong Suh over a similar incident.
With three touchdown passes Brady added some very impressive milestones to his already legendary resume. The quarterback set an all-time NFL record for the best touchdown to interception ratio (14:1) in a single season with his 28th TD against just two picks. Brady also set an NFL record with 254 pass attempts on the road without an interception.
Pittsburgh and Houston are locked in as the number three and four seeds respectively. That leaves three games to determine the conference playoff seeding. The three AFC games that actually matter today are Miami at New England, Kansas City at San Diego and Oakland at Denver. There are a total of eight possible combined outcomes to those games.
