Battle of the Blitz: Jones, Belichick Talk Patriots' Potential Problems with Dolphins' Pass Rush

After a one-year absence, The New England Patriots are once again bound for the postseason. The Pats have returned to the playoffs via a familiar formula: great coaching along with smart, complementary football on both sides of the ball. This combination has helped them remain among the AFC’s best teams heading into the 2021 postseason.

While their defense has been the primary catalyst for their success, New England’s offense has shown marked improvement from the start of the season.

Steering New England’s offensive ship is rookie quarterback Mac Jones. The 23-year-old has completed just under 70 percent of his passes on the season.
