The offense had no chance

The Patriots defense recognized Bengals plays quickly and shut the door on them.

The Patriots had the lowest average tackle distance and missed tackle rate (5.7%, only 3 in the entire game) in the NFL in week 1, according to @NextGenStats. https://t.co/rw8zTJwGDv

Yep.Totally sniffed that play out. Those last 2 plays on that drive pissed me off as they had a 3rd and 2 and JB threw behind the TE although he still got both hands on the ball and should have caught it and then that gimmicky play that requires a lot of blocking, being out-manned against a team that was defending them downhill.

I was calling for 2 run plays on 3rd and 2 and, imo, that's a perfect time to fight back and play physical.
