Lewis left Sunday’s game with a knee injury.

Lewis had become the Patriots’ primary receiving back, which allowed him to be on the field more, and be more involved in the offense than any other running back on the roster. “So hopefully we can get over our struggles and finally go out and play well and beat them”. Veteran Brandon Bolden stepped in for Lewis and caught an 18-yard touchdown.
This story will be updated. Brady missed the milestone by 1 yard, but he did have his eighth straight game with at least two TD passes. Still, teams playing the Patriots have to be much less afraid of those guys than Lewis based on the first half of the season.
New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones is finally having the breakthrough season the team imagined when he was drafted 21st overall in the 2012 season.
New Orleans Saints cornerback Brandon Browner gets in verbal altercation with media member:”Browner yelled profanities at media in the locker room shortly after a 34-28 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans that snapped a three-game winning streak and pushed the Saints under.500″. He throws two more good passes, and they go down as incompletions, and the Redskins have to punt. The New England Patriots were able to take a 14-0 lead with just six plays and the 5-yard run of Blount. “As a 5’10” ex-quarterback Edelman certainly fits the bill, but at this point he’d succeed on any team in the league and any quarterback would be thrilled to have him. “I’m playing for the Patriots logo on my chest, my teammates, the coaches, and I’m also trying to get my Madden rating up”, Jones said with a laugh. New England also lost a fumble at home for the first time since 2013 and lost the coin toss for just the seventh time in their last 26 games. Lewis darted his way to 622 yards from scrimmage this year with his elusive running style and quick moves in space that captivated all of New England.
The Patriots turn over their running backs and find success as much or more than any other team. In the first two playoff games against the Ravens and Colts, he wasn’t a huge part of the offense, with seven catches on nine targets in those two games, and only one carry in each. It would take them missing key players, suffering major injuries, turning the ball over and killing a few drives with penalties. Gruden added that they were unable to get into a rhythm. Next year will be important for him, and he has a lot of ground to make up, as he’s been well below average for a top corner this season.
