The New England Patriots handily dispatched the Titans in the Divisional Round, but what can we take away from the defending champions’ victory.
They are not done. The New England Patriots defeated the Tennessee Titans 35-14 to advance to their record seventh straight AFC Championship Game. The Titans were in this game early, as they led 7-0. From then on it was all New England as they scored 35 unanswered points.
The Patriots won the game in a variety of ways. From the play of running back Dion Lewis to the Brady-Gronk connection to the Brady-Amendola connection, it seemed as though every Patriot had their hands in the victory today.
Defensively, the pass rush seemed as though it was machine-like, managing to get to Marcus Mariota with ease. It seemed as though the Patriots were firing on all cylinders Saturday and as the rest of the NFL knows, when that happens, New England is impossible to stop.
With that in mind, we take a look at three takeaways from the Patriots Divisional Round win over the Titans.
