FOXBOROUGH — Whether he’s playing his usual linebacker position or stepping up as a fullback for an offense that needed a spark, Elandon Roberts is going to approach it the same way.
“Some on defense, same on offense,” Robert said. “When a linebacker steps in the hole, I’m [going to] run through their [expletive] face. Period. That’s all I think about, making my block, running through a [expletive] face.”
The Patriots put Roberts to work doing just that on Saturday night, calling for him to block for Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead as the pair of running backs helped carry the Patriots to a 24-17 win and their 11th straight AFC East title.
