AFC Championship Game is a case study of how NFL defenses are evolving | The MMQB with Peter King

Wow, I am both relieved and proud to have written a complimentary article to Andy Benoit, a football writer I have long respected, that makes a lot of the same points about the Pats and man coverage that I made in my piece.
