Breaking Down the Clutch Play from Patriots’ Pass Catchers

by

There’s been plenty of attention on James White, the Julian Edelman impossible shoe catch and the Dont’a Hightower strip sack that quickly opened the door for an impossible Patriots comeback in Super Bowl 51.

But what stands out to me most aside from these headliners, was how each and every Patriots weapon came through with a huge clutch play, without which, the comeback likely would’ve fallen short.

Here’s a rundown of the key receiving stats:

Passing, Rushing, & Receiving Table
Player Tgt Rec Yds TD Lng
Julian Edelman 13 5 87 0 27
James White 16 14 110 1 28
Danny Amendola 11 8 78 1 20
Malcolm Mitchell 7 6 70 0 18
Martellus Bennett 6 5 62 0 25
Chris Hogan 7 4 57 0 18

Coffin Corner: The Foxboro Redemption

by

A wrongfully accused man is harshly sentenced for a crime he didn’t commit based entirely on shoddy circumstantial evidence. Despite his innocence, he refuses to relinquish the high road for the very sake of his soul.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

Our hero refuses to let the anger in, he offers hope to those who surround him in the prison, he finds power and conviction in his desperate situation. His final appeal for exoneration is destroyed when his warden literally kills his only shot at getting out.

Apologies to the Hoodie, but the best movie to describe Deflategate isn’t “My Cousin Vinny”, it’s “Shawshank Redemption”. And Tom Brady is Andy Dufresne.
