Jan. 2—Underplayed story of the 2021 New England Patriots season?
Easy.
It's Damien Harris establishing himself as a legitimate No. 1, put-team-on-shoulder, running back.
Lost in the Buffalo Bills dumpster fire last Sunday afternoon was the fact the Patriots played bad enough to get blown out by three or four scores.
There was one problem, at least as far as the Bills were concerned: Harris was elite.
The Patriots didn't do much right last Sunday, yet there they were, with 7:37 remaining in the game, within striking distance, 26-21, en route to a mini-comeback.
