But the Patriots have the potential to slow this game down. What's unclear is if that's actually smart. New England could try and eat up clock by handing the ball off the LeGarrette Blount. That could yield fewer possessions for Atlanta, limiting the chances for its explosive offense to put up points. In that case, Blount may see very little action because James White and Dion Lewis are far more versatile and effective options for Tom Brady in the passing game.
