READY TO FLY Tight end Rob Gronkowski stretches at the start of yesterday’s practice in Foxboro
A native of Jackson, Miss. On Saturday night, we learned they aren't there yet. In doing so, he also extended his own playoff record to 13 playoff games with at least 300 yards passing.
The defending Super Bowl champion Patriots are 13-3, they're the No. 1 seed, and they're heavy favorites in this one, but it's worth noting they haven't always been invincible this season.
"They're obviously a good team". Marcus Mariota found rookie Corey Davis on a back-shoulder throw in the end zone that was hauled in with a handsome grab to go up 7-0.
It may not take a miracle, but a good game plan that eats clock and a heavy dose of Titans Running Backs along with a key Special Teams play could be enough.
The Titans trailed Kansas City 21-3 at halftime last week and the Titans came back to win and advance to this game against New England. A front seven that needed to step up and make Brady uncomfortable was extremely disappointing, barely touching him and failing to register a sack. These are some big words, and no doubt Brady has had some rough games this season, but Byard will have his work cut out for him if he intends to make such a star quarterback look like hot garbage on the field. The final result was a club that was outclassed by the Patriots.
"I think it just comes down to how well you play", Brady said.
But Brady said it "just goes with the territory". "To make it this far, that's extremely promising, but we can't do that again in the 2018 season". After missing four straight games, he returned to action in a December 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but struggled as both a pass catcher (one reception on five targets) and blocker.
Titans' head coach Mike Mularkey: 1-0 in postseason play... They led the league by giving up just 40 plays of over 20 yards or more this year - 37 passes and three runs. Mariota was sacked a career-high eight times at Gillette Stadium. Mariota couldn't get into a rhythm as an early injury to right tackle Jack Conklin loomed large. It's a group that will need to be upgraded in the offseason. But "backup" Derrick Henry actually had a much better season and is coming off a tremendous performance (156 yards on 23 carries) against the Chiefs. That won't cut it going forward.
New England jumped out first thanks to a 41-yard touchdown from Brady to Bethel Johnson.
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels outschemed Titans defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau by slowly chipping away at the Titans' pass defense with a combination of Dion Lewis and James White on screens and sweeps, Rob Gronkowski rummaging through the middle and Danny Amendola taking advantage of open shallow zones.
Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota got off to a quick start, which was a rarity for the Titans. Reason being is that they have nothing to lose.
The team disputed several aspects of ESPN's report, citing "several inaccuracies", and sent out a statement in which Kraft, Belichick and Brady said, "We stand united".
