New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo left the door open for running back Antonio Gibson to start over Rhamondre Stevenson when speaking with the media on Monday.
Stevenson's costly fumble in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills was his seventh fumble of the season. That is equal to the number of fumbles he's had in his previous three NFL seasons combined.
Despite the turnover, he still managed to have a productive day with 12 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown. By comparison, Gibson only has two fumbles this season with the Patriots.
He has proven to be a solid complementary back for Stevenson.
