FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Last week, New England Patriots defensive playcaller Brian Flores said playing the run was one of his top priorities, adding, “Teams are going to keep running the ball until we do something to stop it.”
Well, it’s back to the drawing board once again -- with a caveat.
Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels rang up 142 yards on 19 carries, for a whopping 7.5 yards per carry. Those are numbers that are surely going to catch the eye of the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets -- the two remaining opponents on the Patriots’ schedule -- to see if they can follow suit.
