Packers quarterback Jordan Love has done his most damage this year against the blitz when he's had either Christian Watson or Matthew Golden in one-on-one looks, but unlike a lot of the teams Green Bay has played this year, the Patriots are just as comfortable playing man as they are playing zone, even behind a blitz.

Love's blitz-beater success faces Patriots' league-best max pressure with man coverage.

Love has done his most damage this year against the blitz when he's had Christian Watson or Matthew Golden in one-on-one looks. However, the Patriots present a different defensive challenge: they've sent max pressure (six or more pass rushers) with man coverage 37 times this season—the most in the league—and have posted a 21.6 percent conversion rate in these situations, the best in the league. Unlike many teams Green Bay has faced, the Patriots are comfortable playing man coverage even behind a blitz, and Christian Gonzalez's elite travel coverage will test Love's ability to exploit one-on-one matchups.
