Colin Cowherd Makes Emphatic Statement About Patriots’ Super Bowl Chances

Colin Cowherd has made an interesting statement about the Patriots’ super bowl chances recently. The Patriots are definitely looking like one of the best teams in the league right now. They should be talked about as one of the teams that could make a run in the playoffs. Mac Jones and the offense have them rolling and it is clear that they have improved significantly from the beginning of the season. Hopefully, they can continue their great play that has won them 6 straight.

Now, the Patriots have some pundits talking about their super bowl chances. Colin Cowherd is one of those people.

“The New England Patriots are the best team in the AFC,” Cowherd said on FS1.

“There’s seven or eight boxes you check to get to a Super Bowl,” Cowherd said. “Do you have an elite head coach? Check. Special teams above average? Check. A defense that’s good and creates a consistent pass rush? Check. Are you situationally smart on both sides of the ball? Check. Can you control the line of scrimmage? Check. You don’t beat yourself? Check.”

It sounds like Cowhed is pretty high on the Patriots and for good reason. They have one of the best defenses in the NFL right now and are playing like it. The offense is also rolling under Mac Jones.

“The only box New England doesn’t check: dynamic vertical playmaker,” Cowherd said. “Which you don’t have to have, but it really helps so you don’t have to score on nine- and 10-play drives. And Kansas City and Buffalo have dynamic deep threats.

“But those teams, let’s be honest, they make more mistakes, they don’t run the football at all, their offensive lines are kind of a work in progress and, by the way, the weather’s getting worse. New England never won Super Bowls with Randy Moss. Because teams that can score quickly and go over the top easily sometimes become too reliant on it. And Kansas City and Buffalo are not nearly as good at the defense, the run game, controlling the clock as the Patriots are.”
