Derrick Henry rushed for 182 yds ffs. That why NE lost. And it wasn’t a fluke, he won the league rushing title this season.

132 of those yards were in the first half, so the Pats adjusted for it. 

What killed the Pats were mistakes, like Edelman dropping a pass where he had a key first down and room to run. Or losing a receiver in their coverage on THE key Titan third down. It was a collection of mistakes that killed them - which is uncharacteristic for a Belicheck team. 

The other thing was the lack of weapons for Brady other than Edelman finally caught up to them and bit them. If Brady comes back look for the Pats to pursue retooling the receiver corps and getting a pass catching TE again.
