"The team's mentality has been strong, playing physical and suffocating football, particularly on defense. The run defense has been among the best in the league, and the trio of Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, and Harold Landry along the defense line has wreaked havoc in opposing backfields. This mentality is exactly what Mike Vrabel has been preaching and is representative of his physicality and aggressiveness from when he was a player."
"The Saints' offense played better than expected, turning the ball over only once and scoring five times in total. Despite their reasonable success, the defense still held them to 19 points while both Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller were bottled up: as a team, the Saints ran for just 3.1 a carry. A big part of their defensive line success on Sunday and throughout the year has been Milton Williams, the highest-paid player in franchise history at $26 million per season."
The New England Patriots improved to 4-2 and moved into first place in the AFC East after the Bills' loss. The team has upcoming winnable games against the Titans and Browns that could make them 6-2. The defense plays physical, suffocating football with one of the league's best run defenses. Defensive linemen Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, and Harold Landry have frequently disrupted opposing backfields. Mike Vrabel's coaching emphasizes physicality and aggression, mirrored by the team's play and aggressive fourth-down decision-making. Milton Williams has been a key contributor and played through a serious illness to help the team win.
