The patriots play WCO, wether people want to agree with it or not. They dink, dunk you to death and hit you hard with the deep ball from time to time. They control the game very well with their offense and defensive schemes together.
Our defensive scheme doesn't work when our offense has the ability to score in 20 seconds on any given drive.

Pats' defense was ranked #21 in 2018. #29 in 2017. And that's playing in a crappy AFC East. The last two years were a success for them because of the offense. But I get your point about their defense being complimentary to what they do overall. BUT... Yesterday, their defense was NOT
bend but don't break. And it wasn't vs. the Chargers either. Good job by them in 1st half. Not so great in 2nd half. I can't imagine Bob Sutton planning against the Chiefs' offense. That might result in an NBA scoring record.
