Chris Polk's increased workload
Chris Polk ’s seen his workload increase.The running back led the way on the ground last weekend at Buffalo with a team-high 61 yards on 12 carries. Plus, his only catch out of the backfield was a first half 11-yard touchdown, in which he exploded through Stephon Gilmore on his way to the end zone.
For head coach Bill O’Brien, seeing more of Polk has been among other things, a matter of playing the streaks.
“Sometimes, it comes down to who has the hot hand,” O’Brien said. “Who is running the best, who is running with the most confidence, who is seeing it the best that is a part of it too.”
Offensive coordinator George Godsey added that Polk and Jonathan Grimes have seen their workload
