PFF: The most efficient pass-blocking offensive lines for each remaining playoff team.

Yeah it's gone kind of under the radar but this is the greatest burden of responsibility that has been put offensively on Tom Brady with the Pats in years.

They were already planning to be more vertical based after trading for Cooks but the Edelman ACL injury only amplified that and frankly has been felt all year. At times it's almost felt like this offense has had to be too vertically oriented for their own good. They also really don't have a reliable way of beating press coverage when Gronk is bracketed

Far more often than people probably realize these have been the type of windows that offense has demanded Brady to hit repeatedly to function the way it has
