WR Chris Hogan Says Patriots Knew Steelers Defense Would Play A Lot Of Zone

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense played a lot of zone coverage Sunday against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game and that game plan failed miserably.

During his Monday interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan, who caught nine passes against the Steelers for 180 yards and two touchdowns, talked about New England’s offensive game plan going into Sunday’s game.

“We knew that they were going to be playing a lot of zones and that just goes back to all the preparation that we put in during the week,” Hogan said.
