That's what makes NE so dangerous as well, they can do both.

Kind of agree on how NE will handle PIT's offense. Butler will cover Brown. They'll focus on not breaking as usual. They'll key on the run. I think NE is going to destroy Pittsburgh's defense. Brady will not miss all those wide open crossing routes like we saw in the KC game. Pittsburgh's D gives that up again, NE is going to torch them.
