Defining Moments: Corey Dillon runs his way to history in 2004 originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Twenty years ago, Corey Dillon produced the greatest statistical season by a running back in New England Patriots history.
In April 2004, coming off their second Super Bowl title, the Patriots acquired Dillon from the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a second-round draft pick. The then-30-year-old Dillon was coming off a turbulent season in Cincinnati that was marred by injuries.
With New England, Dillon returned to form with the best season of his NFL career.
