I’m curious about the Patriots’ pass protection. The currently rank 13th in the league in adjusted sack rate with a 5.7% (Chiefs are number 1 with only 2%).

13th is pretty good, but let’s look at their opponents.

Miami: 12th in pass rush adjusted sack rate
Las Vegas: 31st in pass rush adjusted sack rate
Seattle: 25th in pass rush adjusted sack rate.

Miami is easily the best pass rush they’ve faced, but it’s hard to say how they held up. They played with a lead almost the entire game and Cam only threw 19 passes.

He’ll need to throw more this week like he did against Seattle (44 passes), but the Chiefs pass rush is ranked 7th in adjusted sack rate (10.%) while Seattle is far worse (4.2%, ranked 25th).
