The Patriots have their game plan against the Chiefs: Pass, pass and pass some more.
On an 11-play, 80-yard drive to start the game, the Patriots passed on every play and marched down the field doing it, eventually scoring when Tom Brady found Rob Gronkowski in the end zone for a touchdown.
The biggest play of the opening drive was a 32-yard pass from Brady to Gronkowski on which Brady was pressured in the pocket but used his feet to buy time and find Gronk downfield.
If the Chiefs can’t pressure Brady more effectively, it’s going to be a long game in New England.
