Bortles is not mid tier. He sucks. Has nothing to do with a cold January football game, there’s 22 players on the field at once.
One too many hits by Jack or Ngakoue or Fowler and Brady could be done for. Steelers pass rush is good but their secondary is leaky. None of Jacksonville’s defense is bad. And New England doesn’t have a RB good enough to run on them
Slightly below average is probably a better description of bortles than mid tier i guess.
QB is the most important position in the game and i doubt you'd even argue otherwise. To say (to quote you) he has "nothing to do with a cold January football game" is nonsensical and silly.
And you don't think the patriots can't successfully game plan for the jaguars d? Ive seen brady beat as good or better defenses ( "legion of boom" seahawks, broncos, etc). Brady will get the ball out fast.
"New england doesn't have a RB good enough to run on them"
I guess you don't watch many patriots games, dion lewis can easily run on them. He finished second in the league in Y/A amongst all RBs and was named 2nd team All Pro per PFF...
