That's just not true. New England is maybe one of 3 teams that change week to week. Any time a team runs anything that they don't normally do (Chiefs opener, Wildcat, multiple early season loses), New England gets beat up and trounced. If teams actually did do something different against New England, they wouldn't be half as good. But alas, Tomlin will lose in week 15 because he'll run the same soft zone coverages he runs every week, and he'll run the same plays on offense that destroy inferior teams but New England will know it's coming and shut it down.Sometimes it’s easier to out think belicheat by not overthinking it. Too many teams always change their entire philosophy for New England. Teams need to make New England adjust to them not vice versa.
Steelers are scared of New England. They know they can’t beat them. Their so called killer Bs are always no where to be found when they play New EnglandThat's just not true.

Philbin did a few times, so did Sparano.
