Patriots News and NFL Notes for Monday, May 10th, 2021.
Brady completed 19 of 26 for 172 yards with two touchdown passes and no interceptions. This was his first game action since the Super Bowl
The Patriots defense was dissected and shredded for over 500 yards of offense (374 passing, 164 rushing) by the Eagles who also gashed them for 41 points.
Pressure with the front four is a key here, coincidentally the Patriots have had 11 sacks in their two playoff games, something no one is mentioning.
The Patriots scored one more point offensively than the Eagles 458-457, and the Eagles allowed one less point defensively than the Patriots 295-296. It doesn’t get much closer than that points wise.
