Patriots defense feels no added pressure with Tom Brady having left New England

The best defense is a good offense, or so the saying goes. This seemed true for years when it came to the New England Patriots: with quarterback Tom Brady leading the offensive attack, the team’s defense was automatically in a more comfortable position knowing the future Hall of Famer could easily flip the switch on opponents and lead the offense to outscore them any given week. So with Brady having left New England, the script changes... right?

Not necessarily, at least if veteran defensive backs Devin and Jason McCourty are to be believed.
