Patriots’ Running Game Takes Off…Again
In our post-game analysis right after the game, I wrote “what a difference a week makes” and it is very true. Last week the Patriots running game couldn’t get untracked and the backs accounted for a mere 20 yards on the ground.
In the Patriots running game on Sunday afternoon that rolled up 250 yards on the ground, the backs accounted for 209 yards on 26 carries. That is some production. The defense forced three turnovers and scored a defensive touchdown. The coaches did some nice in-game adjustments, but despite in essence a blow-out win, there was a lot of things that need cleaning up before the team heads to Kansas City
This is a broken record but I really wish the NFL would release the All-22 a bit earlier instead of having to rely on just the broadcast video for our reviews…but it is what it is.
