The New England Patriots¡¯ offensive line is coming off a terrific two-game playoff stretch. Against the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs Eric Rowe Jersey , two teams with a talented pass rush, quarterback Tom Brady was pressured just 15 times in total: he was hit thrice and hurried 12 additional times. While this speaks for Brady¡¯s ability to quickly get rid of the football, it is also proof of the quality of New England¡¯s offensive line.Now, the unit will face quite possibly its toughest challenge to date ¡ª especially because of one man: Aaron Donald, who is not just the Los Angeles Rams¡¯ best defensive player but arguably the best defensive player in all of football. The numbers speak for themselves, as Donald led the NFL with 20.5 sacks and 25 tackles for loss during the regular season.And even though he was kept sackless through the playoffs so far Cheap Tom Brady Jersey , the Patriots know about his talents and ability to single-handedly impact a game. ¡°He¡¯s a great athlete, the film study shows that,¡± said New England right offensive tackle Marcus Cannon about the 27-year old. ¡°20+ sacks, numerous tackles for loss, forced fumbles. The guy¡¯s a monster. It¡¯s going to be a big task for us.¡±¡°He¡¯s an elite player,¡± added starting left guard Joe Thuney. ¡°He¡¯s in the MVP considerations as a defensive lineman  http://www.patriotscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-adam-butle r-jersey , which is really almost unheard of. You see teams trying to prevent him from making big plays and he still manages to have remarkable numbers. It¡¯s going to take a team effort, lot of communication, lot of technique.¡±So far during the postseason, the Patriots have displayed all those traits at a tremendous level ¡ª which is what helped them slow down the likes of the Chargers¡¯ Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa and the Chiefs¡¯ Chris Jones, Dee Ford and Justin Houston. But Donald presents a different task due to his elite athletic skills and ability to fight his way through offensive linemen.¡°He¡¯s never blocked. You might think you have him at the next thing you know he¡¯s past you,¡± said Patriots center David Andrews. ¡°He¡¯s quick  http://www.patriotscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-trey-flowe rs-jersey , quick off the ball, he¡¯s powerful. He¡¯s a great player and he¡¯s at the top of his game right now. He¡¯s the best defensive player in football. We¡¯re a good unit, played a lot of football together but it will be a big challenge this weekend and we¡¯re going to have our hands full.¡±The Patriots know that they have to be near-perfect going against Donald and the rest of Los Angeles¡¯ terrific pass rush. But while Ndamukong Suh, Cory Littleton and company are all dangerous players in their own right, Donald is the focal point. You make a mistake against a guy like that, there¡¯s no recovery Cheap Julian Edelman Jersey ,¡± said Andrews about facing off against the NFL¡¯s likely defensive player of the year. ¡°You gotta be on your game at all times. ¡° The Patriots took care of what they needed to do to get a first round bye on Sunday and now they¡¯ll sit back to see how things play out in the AFC West.Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes in the first half, added a fourth in the fourth quarter and the Patriots defense made life miserable for Sam Darnold in a 38-3 victory. The win ensures the Patriots can finish no lower than No. 2 in the AFC and they can move up to the top spot in the event that the Chiefs and Chargers both lose later in the day.Whether that happens or not, the Patriots can feel better about the overall state of the offense than they did after beating Buffalo last week. Brady missed a few throws on Sunday, but was sharper than he was against the Bills and wound up 21-of-30 for 226 yards. That effort was balanced by 132 rushing yards as the Patriots didn¡¯t lack for ways to move the ball on Sunday.The same can¡¯t be said of the Jets, who missed wide receivers Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse as they tried to attack New England¡¯s defense. Darnold was 16-of-28 for 167 yards and got sacked four times, including one that saw Adam Butler strip the ball for a Kyle Van Noy touchdown return.Darnold¡¯s rookie season showed enough promise that you¡¯d imagine he¡¯ll have many more games against the Patriots in the future. The expectation is that someone other than Todd Bowles will be calling the shots in those contests and it¡¯s probably a good bet that Bowles¡¯ replacement will be chosen with Darnold¡¯s development in mind.That move will have relevance for the Patriots in the future. In the present Cheap Ja'Whaun Bentley Jersey , they¡¯ll be waiting to find out where they fit in the conference¡¯s playoff picture.
