This week the Green Bay Packers<\/a> will play the New England Patriots<\/a> on Sunday Night Football. The game is being hyped as an Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong> vs. Tom Brady<\/a><\/strong> duel. But that is wrong since neither plays defense. The game will be won by the defensive coordinator and the defense that can limit the other team’s offense.<\/p>\n

Tom Brady is an excellent quarterback regardless of what a defensive coordinator can throw at him defensively. He has an answer to beat cover-1 and 2 men, zone schemes, blitzes, fake blitzes, etc. Last year, Scott Kascmar of Football Outsiders, tweeted out that from 2006 to 2017, Tom Brady had an outstanding ratio of 70 touchdowns to zero (yes, zero!) interceptions when facing an all-out blitz.<\/p>\n

Since 2006, Tom Brady has 70 TD and 0 INT against 6+ man blitzes (source: ESPN)<\/p>\n
