""We just have to keep doing the things that we're doing, just do them a little better," Vrabel said simply of the impending postseason. "There's no secret formula," he added. "We'll have to prepare. We'll have to get to know these guys. It's a team that we don't know, it's one that we're not familiar with."
""This is a big, physical football team," he said of Los Angeles. "Big linemen, they've got a big defensive lineman that plays fullback. The defense is good. They play a good style of football, defensively. They make it hard on you, a bunch of different mixed quarters coverages. The quarterback is good as anybody, can scramble, is tough, can make the throws, big receivers. So it'll be a challenge to get going on these guys and learn who they are and try to put a plan together."
After a 38-10 victory that clinched the No. 2 AFC seed, New England finished the regular season 14-3 and now prepares for a Sunday night wild-card matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The team plans to continue its current approach while improving execution and preparing specifically for an unfamiliar opponent. Vrabel selected Drake Maye as his NFL MVP pick. The Chargers went 11-6, deal with offensive-line injuries, and present a big, physical challenge with large linemen, varied defensive coverages, a mobile quarterback, and big receiving targets. New England holds a 3-0 playoff edge versus the Chargers since the merger.
