"A big reason the New England Patriots find themselves set to play the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX is the success of their pass rush, which leads the NFL in postseason sacks. Outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson has been helping spearhead the defensive unit in that department during the playoffs, with a team-high three sacks and 14 quarterback pressures, the second-highest total league wide."
"After signing a one-year, $3 million pact with the Patriots back in March, Chaisson played well above the value of his deal during the regular season. The 20th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft recorded career-highs in sacks (7.5, second on the team), forced fumbles (two, first on the team), tackles for loss (10, tied for first on the team), quarterback pressures (23, tied for first on the team), and quarterback hits (18, second on the team)."
K'Lavon Chaisson leads the Patriots' postseason pass rush with a team-high three sacks and 14 quarterback pressures, second-most in the playoffs. Chaisson signed a one-year, $3 million deal in March and produced career highs in multiple categories during the regular season, including 7.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, 10 tackles for loss, 23 quarterback pressures, and 18 quarterback hits. Chaisson has picked up production while teammate Harold Landry III has been limited by a knee injury. Chaisson forced a play that produced a pick-six against Houston. Pro Football Focus noted Sam Darnold struggled under duress, making pressure pivotal.
