Jim Kubiak: How Patriots’ defense duped, disguised and beat Josh Allen and Bills
‘The film review revealed a tsunami of pressure that Belichick used to engulf Allen, causing pressure misfires and utter chaos for his protection. The designs of the Patriots’ pressures were cagey at times, causing Allen to try to adjust, only to realize he had been duped. The Patriots were ready to get after him, while the Bills’ plan to counter the man-to-man defense with big plays down the field never materialized.
