Running the ball represented one of the New England Patriots' biggest weaknesses heading into their Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
Mike Vrabel, unwavered by his team's ground game inconsistencies, didn't hesitate to establish the run early in Sunday's game.
It proved to be the sweet spot for the Patriots as they compiled a season-high 175 yards on the ground — not counting two kneel downs by backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs — in a 31-13 thumping of the Titans. Rhamondre Stevenson appeared to be back to his old self, rushing for 88 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown, while QB Drake Maye compiled 62 yards on the ground.
