FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel had earned a reputation for shining on the biggest stage at the University of Georgia. And in the biggest moment of the Patriots season, he delivered a standout performance in a 41-28 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in an AFC divisional playoff game.
Michel’s emergence couldn’t have come at a more important time, and the Patriots will need it again in next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium (6:40 p.m. ET, CBS).
