When I watched the Steelers/Pats game the thing that really stood out to me was the pass protection. Those same exact zone blitzes that gave Dalton hardly any chance to throw were picked up perfectly over and over again. I was in awe of just how efficient that o-line was at walling off the pressure and allowing Brady ample time to throw. Another thing that stood out as a major difference to me was the frequency of passes early in the game. The Bengals seemed to try to establish the run in order to open up the pass when they played the Steelers, lining up in obvious running formations and getting stuffed, where the Pats decided to make them find an answer to the pass first.
