If the Patriots want to slow down the vaunted Philadelphia Eagles defensive line, they are going to have to do it by getting the ball out of Mac Jones hands quickly. Three-step pass plays, quick five-step passes, RPO’s and perimeter screens are all on the menu as Bill O’Brien and the offensive staff try to find ways to slow down one of the best defensive fronts in the league while…
