Green Bay neutralized Seattle’s brutal first half sack barrage by running the ball and swing passing their way down the field. It truly looked like two different games. That’s always the way to slow down the pass rush, run at it. Green Bay’s ability to do that is a bit alarming because they are not well designed for it. They rank well in the bottom half of league rushing. (Of course Seattle didn’t game plan for them doing that so that makes a difference.)
New England on the other hand responded to getting run over by the Giants pass rush in the Super Bowl by retooling this off-season to run more. At this point of the season the Pats rank #3 in rushing offense.
Take your focus off Brady for a moment and let that sink in.
Five games in the Patriots have more rushing yards, more yards per run, more rushes per game and more rushing TD’s than the Seahawks. The number three rushing attack in the league with Tom Brady taking the snaps.
That’s scary.
