Pretty much a regular
Patriots offense has been very slow out of the gate with a limited Gronkowski. Yet they are still 2nd in the league with an average of 70 snaps/game which 38 of those are passes. Gronkowski has been on the field for 38, 28 and last week 42 snaps and there is talk that he should be near full availability.
If you look at the box score a little closer you will see that the Patriots haven't been very efficient in the RZ. Those are spots where a healthy Gronk would be very helpful or even a dump off to a back.
Gostkowski 20yd (ball on 2) and 21yd (ball on 2) FG against Raiders Wk3
Gostkowski 27yd (ball on 9) FG against Vikings Wk2
Brady each game this year has only netted 1 TD pass but last year he passed for at least 2 TDs in 50% of his games with essentially the same offensive weapons. Now if we look at how other QBs have faired in the last 6 games against Chiefs:
Rivers 3 TDs Wk15
Luck 1 TD Wk16
McGloin 2 TDs Wk17
Locker 2 TDs Wk1
Manning 3 TDs Wk2
Tannehill 1 TD Wk3
I think it is way too early for people to start burying Brady and saying his career is over. This is MNF and all eyes will be on him to see if his career is truly on the downside. This is the type of national stage where Brady lives for and I think he will have a monster game against the Chiefs.
Brady Over 1.5 TD Passes -140
