Youre trying to argue the NFL has changed that much in 2 years and DTs have become more valuable? The best DT in the NFL couldn’t sack Brady in the SB either, what’s your explanation there?

The last time the Patriots missed the SB was in 2016. When they lost to Peyton Manning Broncos. That year the chiefs had 0 sacks on TB in the divisional round with Hali and Ford in full swing. The Broncos stopped TB in the AFCCG with 2.5 sacks from their OLB.
On a side note that year PM was only sacked 16 times all year in large part to his quick release. They won the SB....
Also I'm not saying DTs are more valuable. I'm saying that players that can get to the QB from the interior are more likely going to be MORE successful than those coming from the edge
