Earlier in the game, I think on the first or second Jets drive, there was a fantastic play where KJ closed the gap REAL fast on Fitz and sacked him. Fitz had scrambled and rolled left and immediately KJ who had somewhat dropped in coverage left his man and closed the gap on Fitz really fast and sacked him. In one of the replays what you can also see is Earl who started moving to his left, almost at the exact same time KJ bolted for Fitz, Earl bolted for the guy who KJ was dropping into coverage for. i.e. Earl and KJ saw the same thing at the same time and Earl changed direction to cover up that area while KJ went for the QB. Which means, no break down in coverage, non-verbal communication where the guys are on the same page and stay disciplined and know where they're supposed to go, not just everyone go for the QB.
And very good description on that sack by KJ. Bobby's sack was also impressive, the way he almost shadowed Bennett (was it?) before suddenly exploding into Fitz.
