The New England Patriots have faced some enormously talented offenses in the playoffs, and beaten them both. In the divisional round, the Patriots were able to slow down the Los Angeles Chargers and limit them to 28 points — most of which coming in garbage time. One week later, New England shut out the highest scoring offense in the league at the half. And even though the Kansas City Chiefs fought back, it was enough to keep the Patriots in a position to win.
Now, the team’s defense has to go up against its next challenge — and it won’t be much easier: a Los Angeles Rams offense that ranked third in the regular season in points scored with 30.
