According to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Davis and Toler .Weather Tracking* at -- 50 degrees / light rain (77 percent chance; winds 15 mph) at -- 43 degrees / rain (60 percent chance; winds 10 mph) *Forecasts courtesy of Key matchups to watch offensive line vs. defensive frontIn the , the ' pa s rush sacked a more mobile version of three times. The quarterback has been sacked 11 times in the past two games against the . Mobility will be an i sue for the quarterback trying to escape a beastly Seattle rush. However, the ' offensive line is much different than the group that was hounded months ago. Rookie has a full season under his belt and is already one of the better centers in the NFL. Having healthy for the full game should end the turn-style action on the right side of the line we saw in Week 1. After getting sacked 20 times in the first eight weeks of the season, Rodgers was taken down just eight times the rest of the way and twice more last week.

The secondary is one of the best in the NFL, but if the pa s rush doesn't get to Luck he can pick apart anyone. Luck has 40-plus pa s attempts in each of his five playoff starts with 300-yard pa sing games in three of his last four contests. If bodies aren't piling on him Sunday, he could to s the to another road playoff win. The had zero sacks against the . and Co. must change that this week. New England earned 40 sacks this season, 13th best in the NFL, so 's crew can get pre sure on the quarterback. We'll see if Belichick throws any creative pre sures at the third-year signal caller. Luck can be loose with the football when he's under pre sure. The quarterback has eight career interceptions in three games versus the . Jones is the best pure pa s-rusher of the Pats bunch. If he has a dominant day, expect the Pats to earn several turnovers -- Luck was second in the NFL with 22 giveaways.
