"The New England Patriots advanced to their twelfth Super Bowl on Sunday after beating the Broncos by a score of 10-7. While the elements played a major role in the second half, the Patriots' defense stepped up in a major way after Denver scored a touchdown on their second drive of the game. They rallied to hold Jarrett Stidham to just 75 yards from 15 completions and nabbed an interception after their touchdown drive."
"Putting pressure on Sam Darnold will be key for the Patriots to pull off the win The Patriots mostly shut down Stidham on Sunday, except on the second drive of the game. As mentioned, Darnold is a far better player, but most quarterbacks struggle under pressure, and Stidham did. Stidham finished the game with 1 completion and 2 turnovers vs pressure @NextGenStats https://t.co/Mpbuj65Mow pic.twitter.com/bRPcp344Ye- Jack Andrade (@RealJackAndrade)"
The Patriots beat the Broncos 10-7 to advance to their twelfth Super Bowl. Inclement weather affected the second half, but the Patriots' defense tightened after Denver's early touchdown. The defense limited Jarrett Stidham to 75 yards on 15 completions and recorded an interception following Denver's scoring drive. Across three playoff games the defense has allowed 8.7 points per game, averaged four sacks per contest, and forced at least one turnover in every game. Sustained pressure will be critical against Seattle and Sam Darnold, who performs significantly worse under pressure, and a natural four-man pass rush is emphasized.
