It amazes me how teams let the Patriots destroy them with 6 yard passes, when the Patriots don't have any speed threats down field. The Chargers defensive strategy, staying with their deep zone, was idiotic against the Patriots. I would double team Edelman and blitz often. You have to put some pressure on Brady and make them keep a back in for protection, otherwise he keeps throwing those short passes to the running backs.

Then Gronk will go 9 catches for 165 yards and 2 TDs.
The Patriots have plenty of weapons and can get it downfield, particularly if you're double teaming the guy that's running 5 yard slants.
