The Pats are leading the Texans in every major statistical category, while just holding on to the ball a full 56 seconds more. Watching the game, it’s easy to see why: the Patriots launch each offensive play a full three seconds faster than the Texans, and have employed a no-huddle strategy from time to time in the game.
The Pats are playing a faster game than the Texans – passes are shorter; runs are quicker-hitting. In short, New England is boringly efficient.
They may be the Super Bowl Champions. And in making it this far, we’re seeing the emergence of a new formula: the fast offense. It started with Oregon, and getting plays off within 13 seconds, was used mostly by Peyton Manning with the Colts before that, and has a lineage that goes back to the “Sugar Huddle” used by Sam Wyche’s Cincinnati Bengals during the 80s.
Stay tuned.
