Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has certainly garnered quite a bit of praise from head coach Bill Belichick recently given how he’s played in recent weeks. However, looking at the numbers, what he’s done has really been extremely impressive.
So far, with Damien Harris heading into what will potentially be his final season with the team, the Patriots have increased Stevenson’s workload so far this season and it worked out given that it likely prepared him for having to shoulder an even bigger role Sunday after Harris went down with a hamstring injury.
He responded in a big way with a 25 carry, 161-yard performance that included a second half where he rushed for 92-yards on 17 carries, including four carries of 10+ yards with one that went for over 20.
