8. Terrific two-minute play
One factor in the Giants success against the Patriots in the regular season finale was scoring a touchdown at the end of the first half out of their two-minute drill offense. The Patriots spent extra time working on those situations in practice. In obvious passing situations like the two-minute drill, it will be imperative to generate more pass rush. For the Patriots, look for Rodney Harrison (pictured) as a vital player in these situations, as hes continued to show an uncanny knack for timing blitzes.
