10. Flowers sacks Goff twice

New England’s defense is certainly going to have their hands full in this year’s Super Bowl by trying to prevent the high-powered offense of Los Angeles out of the end zone as much as possible, which is always easier said than done.

In order to have the best chance of making this happen, the Patriots will look to apply as much pressure as possible to Jared Goff under center, and if all goes well for Trey Flowers, the defensive end will manage to increase his recent streak of sacks.

Dating back to Week 17, Flowers has been able to record a sack in every game (three), and as great of a job as the Rams’ offensive line has done all year in protecting their beloved quarterback in Goff, chances are he will get sacked at least a few times.

Applying as much pressure as possible on Goff is going to be one of a few key factors that New England will need to see work out in their favor to have a better chance of coming out on top of this year’s Super Bowl.

After putting together one of the best seasons of his career, expect Flowers to keep the momentum going in the biggest game of the year for the Patriots.
