Patriots’ Threats At TE Remain An Issue, Tomlin Says

When you think about New England Patriots over the last two decades, a couple things come to mind. Chiefly, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. But third should be the always-strong pairing at tight end the team has had, functioning as top weapons in their pass game. While the names and faces have changed, the threat remains the same. Defensively, the Steelers will have to find a way to defend the Patriots’ tight ends, Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith, tomorrow afternoon.

Mike Tomlin spoke to the point in his most recent episode of The Mike Tomlin Show, airing Saturday afternoon.
