Ted Johnson: How Pats defense can improve against the run originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The New England Patriots run defense was a disaster in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jags totaled 171 yards and two touchdowns on 39 rushing attempts. Running back Tank Bigsby did most of the damage with 26 carries for 118 yards and both TDs.

When New England had six or fewer defenders in the box, Jacksonville averaged 6.6 yards per carry and had four runs of 10 or more yards.
