How many more times did our all star interior defensive lineman Chris Jones sack Brady in the playoffs? Do you think pressure off the edge that doesn’t result in sacks has no effect?
And again, Edge rushers lead in sacks and pressures on every defense Spags has coached, that is not an arguable fact.

And at one point Terry Bradshaw and joe Montana led the league in superbowl wins. Stop living in the past. The NFL IS EVOLVING. QBs that get rid of the ball in under 2.5 seconds (tom Brady) are not going to be sacked by a DE on a regular basis. They get sacked by disgusting blitzes from the interior line where the path is much closer and disruptive to the QB. The days of a Derrick Thomas/Lawrence Taylor type dominance from the DE position are over.
And to answer your question we never sacked Brady in the playoffs but in game 6 we did twice by the NT and the ILB/OLB
