The offense breaks the huddle. No, it’s not one of Tom Brady’s patented “hurry to the line and catch the defense off guard” situations. It’s a critical 3rd-and-7 on a sunny October day in the swamps of Northern New Jersey.

On the strong side, the tight end is far left with Julian Edelman and another weapon stacked tight.
