He's rightfully taken a lot of heat this year but this was impressive yesterday.

Breesus was dumping it off most of the game though, otherwise he would have been sacked a lot.
Credit for Peters having a good game, but they weren't going after him. They didn't have any time to let long plays develop.
Breesus got the ball out ASAP. He got 6.2 YPA.
That 6.2 is because the LB's,
especially Littleton, tackled well.
Wade’s been doing a great job lately, but his biggest challenge awaits. Brady gets the ball out way too fast
Well I think that the D will be ready for Brady and his outlet passes. They were ready for Brees!
In his career Brady has averaged the following YPA in the SB.
5.37
7.38
7.15
5.54
6.73
6.56
7.52
10.52
The Patriots have almost always gone to a short passing game in the post season. The exceptions are there of course but mostly Brady is put into position to reduce the possibility of mistakes. And as you can see especially in The Big Game.
If the Rams defense plays like it has the last two weeks this is a Rams victory. The Patriots don't have enough to overcome the Rams with a dink and dunk O because of the front 4. They will have to deviate from their normal stuff to have a shot at a win.
