INDIANAPOLIS -- In updating the New England Patriots' positional groupings from Sunday night's win against the Colts, it reinforces the obvious: The Patriots mostly loaded up at the line of scrimmage with bigger personnel and played the role of bully.

Consider that of their 73 offensive snaps (including penalties, but not kneel-downs), the Patriots had either two or more tight ends, or two backs on the field for all but six of them:

2-WR/2-TE/1-RB -- 38 of 73

1-WR/2-TE/1-FB/1-RB -- 17 of 73

2-WR/1-TE/1-FB/1-RB -- 8 of 73

3 WR/1-TE/1-RB -- 5 of 73

3-TE/1-FB/1-RB -- 4 of 73

3-WR/1-FB/1-RB -- 1 of 73

The Patriots had three different variations of the 2-WR/2-TE/1-RB package, often using 325-pound offensive tackle Cameron Fleming (37 snaps) as the second option for more of a run-based presence. In doing so, the Patriots basically give up one eligible receiver in exchange for an extra blocker.

Other times, it was a more traditional pairing of Rob Gronkowski and Michael Hoomanawanui (24 snaps). Then a few times, it was Gronkowski and Tim Wright (10 snaps overall). So overall, this was a tight-end heavy plan, as well as one in which fullback James Develin played a season-high 30 snaps.

Though the Patriots did use some empty sets and spread the field at times, it was really more of a power game with bigger personnel.
