Guregian: Patriots need to rely on up-tempo to dislodge Jaguars defense

On the surface, the AFC Championship game between the Patriots and Jaguars might not seem like much of a matchup. But the Jaguars’ potent pass rush may have something to say about that.

If you have a prayer of beating the Patriots, you need to get to Tom Brady. If the Jaguars are able to get in his face and disrupt his rhythm, they’ll have a decent chance on Sunday.

No doubt Jaguars executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin, who has won two Super Bowls against the Patriots, has already relayed plenty of stories about how miserable the Giants pass rush made Brady during those games.
