Mariota is Young Alex through and through. Watch him play much and the similarities are striking.
And the Pats like to fall into those shells and force teams to beat them in the red zone. Mariota doesn't have the arm strength or chops to pull that off, IMO.
I think Mariota gets them a bunch of FGs in that game and maybe a TD; something like 22 points off 5 FGs and a touch. The Patriots will give him between the 20s and bottle him up when he gets down there.
