The Los Angeles Chargers field one of the NFL’s best pass rushing duos in Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa. The Kansas City Chiefs led the league in sacks during the regular season behind their fearsome trio of Chris Jones, Dee Ford and Justin Houston. And yet, the New England Patriots were able to neutralize all of them on their way through the playoffs so far and into Super Bowl 53.
The two talented defensive fronts were held without sacks in the divisional and conference championship rounds, respectively, as quarterback Tom Brady was pressured just 15 times over the last two games: he was hit thrice and hurried 12 times — which speaks both for his ability to get the football out of his hands quickly, but also to the job the blockers in front of him have done over their last two games.
