Peter King Names Best And Worst Matchups For Patriots In Playoffs

The New England Patriots are resting this weekend. Tom Brady and the teammates earned a bye and own the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. The Wild Card weekend is of great importance for the team, and experts believe it is the most important weekend of the postseason for New England. The Patriots are vulnerable and have their weakness. The team is in the Super Bowl hunt, and will need some help from the other teams. What does Peter King say about this?

The Patriots will confront three possible teams in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. They will play the Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers? Peter King talked about this on WEEI.

“I guess I would look at it and say that I think Houston is most vulnerable in a really important spot and that is the offensive line. They’re getting their quarterback killed so to me, even though that’s a really excellent defensive front, I think you’d be able to make hay rushing Deshaun Watson. Plus, they’ve played each other about 100 times in the last three or four years so I’m sure the Patriots know everything about the Texans.”

“I think the Baltimore Ravens are a very difficult match for anyone right now because they have a quarterback who’s running the ball 15 times a game very effectively. They have a team running the ball 65 percent of the time over the last seven games. It’s unheard of and hasn’t happened in our lifetime. It didn’t even happen with big running teams like the Packers of the 60s,” King added.

The Warriors won a couple of playoff games at Gillette Stadium against the Patriots. However, let’s not forget that the Patriots can defeat anyone. Let’s see what happens in the next few days before coming up with a conclusion.
