Are the Patriots BETTER Than They Look?

Well, let's start off with the good, which is the defense.

Because the defense has been lights out for two weeks in a row.

And sure, Producer Danny is going to say they haven't played a good offense yet.

They haven't.

Okay.

All right, we'll see.

But I will say this.

Now, there's a few injuries that are a little concerning.

But through two weeks, this is the defense that I expected.

And going into the season, the whole big storyline is how are they going to get a pass rush? They don't have the big-name guy.

And you and I both agreed and said they're going to get it done with scheme, with effort.

And that's what you've seen.

I mean, Aaron Rodgers was under duress all day on Sunday.

I think over 40% of his dropbacks he was under pressure.

I mean, I don't know.

The one where he took the hit in the back by Ellis.

At 42 years old, I would have been like, yeah, I'm good for today.

At 34,

I was thinking about I would be in the hospital.

They got after him, man.

And all your big plays up front were created by your D linemen.

Yeah.

You know, you had the— Strip sack by Barmore, which was recovered by Ponder who rumbled and stumbled.

He looked great, man.

He looked athletic picking that ball up.
