On Sunday, Cam Newton rushed for 75 yards on 15 carries. It was the most rushing yardage in a game for a Patriots’ quarterback since Steve Grogan rushed for 81 yards on 12 carries in a Nov. 20, 1977 win over the Bills. By way of comparison, Tom Brady rushed for 69 yards total in the 2018 and 2019 regular seasons.
The 75 yards was the most rushing yards by a Patriots quarterback under Bill Belichick, and the 10th time that Newton has rushed for 75 or more yards.
Steve Grogan, who holds every major franchise rushing record for quarterbacks, had three games in his career where he topped 75 yards, including one 100-plus yard game on Oct.
