A lot of players contributed to the New England Patriots' upset win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, but a strong case could be made that Rhamondre Stevenson made the strongest impact.

The veteran running back picked up 120 yards (4.4 per carry) and a touchdown to help lead the Patriots to a 16-10 victory at Paycor Stadium.

Stevenson's efforts on the ground allowed the Patriots to win the time of possession battle (34:03 to 25:57) and wear down the Bengals defense, which was especially useful late in the fourth quarter as New England ran out the clock with its dominant rushing attack.
