Yep he actually put some pressure on Brady then he ruined it with dump penalties.
The Refs must have got the memo from the league no more downward chops on helmet and facemask of QB. Hell Andy might have written league because teams were feasting on Pat a few times every game. [Reply]

The rule, I believe, is that a defender can't make contact with the QB's head/neck area, period. Which makes the second one just a head-scratcher because Frank literally grabbed Brady's throat area. And Frank doesn't do stupid stuff like that. We've seen him contort himself at times just to avoid making any contact with a QB once the ball is gone so he won't draw a flag. So why did he do it there? Puzzling. [Reply]

I assume something Brady said on the one before pissed off Frank. Along with a whole lot of frustration. [Reply]

If I had to choose the top priority for this team in the draft, it would be an edge rusher.
Yeah, we need offensive lineman and linebackers (and I really want a high quality CB) but we desperately need an effective edge rusher. Our inability to sack the QB is becoming very frustrating, especially because the last couple of games we aren't even getting sacks when we blitz.
An elite edge rusher can help mask our issues on the back end of the defense.
Clark racked up sacks in the playoffs, and will always be a Legend in Chiefs Kingdom, but he isn't very effective rushing off the edge.
