NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Coaches, opponents and analysts have said the same thing for the bulk of Tom Brady’s 19 years in the NFL.
The key to beating him and the Patriots’ offense is getting him off his spot with a rush up the middle and in his face.
Teams regularly talk about it, but rarely accomplish it.
But it was a major feature in the Titans fantastic 34-10 win over New England at Nissan Stadium Sunday, starting with a tone-setting 11-yard sack by Wesley Woodyard of Brady on a third-and-8 from the Patriots 26-yard line at 5:04 of the first quarter. He bullied his way past running back James White’s attempted blitz pickup.
