2nd Down: Offense has to figure it out quick

Despite the previously mentioned mistakes that the Patriots made last night, the offense still looked pretty good. You can tell that they were only one or two players short of having a successful offense that could compete for a title.

Tom Brady went 20/37 for 200+ yards with no touchdowns and had a clean pocket for most of the game. He did have to rush some passes though because the pass rush of the Titans was too much for him to handle.

As a matter of fact, all the receivers pitched in – even though their stats weren’t mind-blowing. The offense was balanced with run plays as well as passing plays. If they had scored more points, it would have been a real successful day at the office.
