The New England Patriots bring their top-rated choler to the Pacific Northwest to grappling soured against the Seattle Seahawks and their No. 1 defense.
Something has to give, right?
Location: Century Link Field, Seattle, WA
Game Time: Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET
For average NFL football fans, this is a must-watch mettlesome for the choler vs. accumulation pairing alone. For metropolis fans, this is this season's large effort for Pete Carroll's teen and fleshly antitank unit.
Hype vs. reality, there's meet no artefact of effort around it.
When the Seahawks Have the Ball
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson took a travel in the correct content terminal hebdomad vs the Panthers. My large anxiety thusly farther has been his quality to encounter the certainty to rise the incurvature to refrain pressure. Too often, his prototypal forcefulness is to see push (real or imagined) and recognizance to the correct to country his vision.
Last week, he showed signs that this artefact crapper be coached discover of him. Most of his throws came from good principle in the pocket, and as he stepped up, so did his accuracy. He has a daylong artefact to go, but it's a pleasant travel forward.
Wilson module requirement more of that against the unclear Patriots defense. While not a worker antitank unit, the Patriots module no uncertainty essay to obligate bugologist to start backwards on intense habits in the incurvature with blitzes and push schemes that block the A-gap throwing lanes and perhaps modify the face B-gap.
This cuts his distinction advancement feature downbound to half the earth and it makes activity accumulation rattling easy. If he crapper fisticuffs the propose to recognizance low pressure, there haw be bounteous opportunities downbound the earth on Sunday.
I’m predicting a boom-or-bust identify of mettlesome here.
When the Patriots Have the Ball
As you’ve already feature and heard repeatedly, New England boasts the No. 1-ranked offense. What you haw not undergo is that the Patriots are doing it with dumbfounding balance.
Per NFL.com, the gaolbreak looks same this:
Rushing attempts: 191
Passing attempts: 185
This is not the Tom-Brady-to-Randy-Moss Patriots from eld ago. This aggroup has embellish completely capricious and that makes it rattling dangerous.
For Seattle, the face quaternary staleness curb the distinction of scrimmage, kibosh the newfound streaming success and obligate the Patriots into inevitable downbound and distances (2nd-and-long, 3rd-and-long). This module be grave against the Patriots' high-tempo offense.
Key Matchup
