The Patriots' defense, sparked by DE-LB Rob Ninkovich (50), DE Chandler Jones (95) and LB Jamie Collins (91) really has come on late in the season as Belichick kept plugging in new faces when regulars went down with injuries. That New England lost its best two defenders, DT Vince Wilfork and LB Jerod Mayo, and prospered is somewhat amazing.
Belichick will instruct his DBs,Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys, led by Devin McCourty (32) and Aqib Talib (31) to be extra-physical from the outset. It's a plan that has worked for New England for a few decades, going back to the 2002 Super Bowl upset of a similarly high-powered offense, the Rams' "Greatest Show on Turf." |
