Keep Josh Allen in the pocket

Jared Dubin previews the final Monday Night game of the season, highlighting the importance of the Patriots keeping Josh Allen in the pocket:

“The key to containing Allen will be to get pressure while also not allowing him to escape to the outside -- especially to his right. Allen has thrown for 366 yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions when escaping pressure to the right side of the field, per Pro Football Focus and TruMedia. Going to his left, it's 160 yards, two touchdowns, and one pick. Getting into his line of vision without allowing him to roll right and load up that cannon on his arm is key to stopping the Buffalo passing attack. The Patriots have been below-average at generating pressure this year, though, per PFF and TruMedia, notching a sack, hit, or hurry on 32.8 percent of opponent dropbacks against a league average of 37.6 percent.”
