Milton Williams: Broncos' 'No. 1 offensive line can kiss my [expletive]'

"The Patriots' defense has been the driving force of the team's success this postseason, and they've been hearing the hype about each of the opponents they've faced. In the first two rounds, there was plenty of talk about how elite the Chargers' and Texans' defenses were. Last week, the quality of Denver's offensive line was a talking point, along with the man they were tasked with protecting: backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham."

"Milton Williams didn't seem too impressed with them after the Patriots sacked Stidham three times during Sunday's 10-7 victory. 'No. 1 offensive line can kiss my (expletive),' Williams said while heading into the locker room, per MassLive's Mark Daniels. The Patriots held the Broncos to 181 total yards and just 3.1 yards per play. Drake Maye scored the Patriots' only touchdown on a designed QB run, but it was pressure on Denver's quarterback that put the Patriots in the red zone in the first place."

Patriots' defense has been the driving force of the team's postseason success, repeatedly facing opponents that drew preseason hype. Patriots defenders disrupted Denver's offense, sacking backup Jarrett Stidham three times and limiting the Broncos to 181 total yards and 3.1 yards per play. Drake Maye scored the team's lone touchdown on a designed quarterback run after defensive pressure created a red-zone opportunity. Christian Elliss knocked the ball loose from Stidham on a play ruled a backwards pass, leading to Elijah Ponder's scoop and run but resulting in the ball being placed at the catch spot. Coach Mike Vrabel praised Elliss for making game-changing plays, noting the impact of singular defensive plays.
