Weird play design, though. A WR tasked with sealing the edge on a safety, a TE tasked with walling off a DE. That play looks pretty well doomed to failure from the start if guys just go do their jobs.

Fortunately they did. And even had one of them failed you had Breeland in support off Sorensen's shoulder and Hitchens flowing into the gap behind Clark. Really a damn nice demonstration of team defense. They all did exactly what they were supposed to do and demolished that play.

It’s nice to have a RDE who can beat TEs in blocking assignments. Big change from the dude who could be blocked out of plays by WR like Julian goddamn ****ing Edelman.
