"Rhamondre Stevenson WENT OFF for the Patriots and Jacoby Brissett made ZERO bad decisions..
The defense played INCREDIBLE and it was a HUGE victory" ~ @BostonConnr#PMSLive
Rhamondre Stevenson logged 12 missed tackles forced today per @PFF. No other running back recorded more than 5.
109 of his 120 yards came after contact.
Rashaad Penny retired this week with a career average of 5.61 yards per carry. That's the highest of any running back in NFL history with at least 300 carries. Bo Jackson, who averaged 5.40 yards per carry, ranks second. https://t.co/SUkEndGZx3
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo called Rhamondre Stevenson "one of the better backs in the league."
