Everyone in the world knew that NE's only chance was to run the ball. They still rushed for 170.
Burrow was pressured the 3rd least in his career and still only averaged 5 yards per attempt. This game plan of taking only what the defense gives you is pathetic. Why wont every team just play us like this? Other than Jamar we have ZERO chance at yards after the catch.
Our RBs averaged 4.9 yds per touch but rarely got the ball.
We likely need to fix more than just a couple fumbles and some missed tackles.
I've never liked ZT's 12 carries and less game plans. Go back thru the game logs and there's a bunch of such games. Carries by the RB's of course. Don't include QB scrambles and WR end around sweeps.
And perhaps I'm wrong ? But it sure seems the entire team could care less about running the ball and it shows. The opponents know it as well.
