Two weeks ago, the Patriots shut out the Chiefs in the first half after Kansas City had never been shut out in the first half under QB Patrick Mahomes. This week, they’re 3:57 away from shutting out a Rams team that has never been shut out in the first half under Sean McVay.

Per ESPN Stats & Info: Rams have blitzed Brady on just 1 of 17 dropbacks so far. They’ve gotten pressure (sack or duress) on 2 dropbacks.
Patriots WR Julian Edelman is already up to 74 yards receiving on five receptions in the first half. Edelman has had room to get off the line clean inside of the numbers, and his route running is on point.
The total disappearance of Todd Gurley in this postseason is an astonishing storyline. #Rams #SuperBowl
