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

It isn’t hard to do when you are calling zero routes that can past 4 yards and you are in putting 5 whole defenses at intermediate range because Burrow is simply refusing to throw it deep.
