Patriots place RB Lewis on injured reserve

Credit the New England Patriots’ head coach for Sunday’s 27-10 win over the Washington Redskins.

Dion Lewis has been a revelation this season for the New England Patriots.

But ghosts and memories don’t win games, and as great as it is for the Giants to know they’ve had the Patriots’ number in the Super Bowl, that’s not going to be much help to them Sunday.

Back-up running back Brandon Bolden puts the Patriots up 27-3 with a fourth-quarter touchdown run.

There have been rumblings by players on both offense and defense about their roles and the schemes Ryan and his staff are using.

Belichick, rarely one to address injuries, acknowledged the issue in his press conference. We take a look at the fantasy implications.

“It’s such a physical game and (it’s) tough to lose such a special player”, said quarterback Brady.

“I’d say it kind of started in the 80’s as I remember it”, Belichick said. These guys will be key to the power run game and also short catch and dash plays by executing blocks downfield to open running lanes.

Talib said afterward he didn’t intend to poke Allen, but was only trying to shove him, insisting: “You think I play football to poke people in the eye?” Cannon had become the starting left tackle when Nate Solder was lost for the season with a torn biceps suffered in Dallas on October 11.

The Saints had been rushing the football as good as they had been all season long. In the receiving end, Brandon LaFell had 102 yards in five receptions while Julian Edelman added 55 yards and one touchdown in five receptions. Running back Shane Vereen also won a ring there previous year. “Me, [Justin] Tuck, Osi [Umenyiora], those were pass-rushers, you know what I mean?”

I’m about to contradict everything I just said. I prepare well every day.

Lewis, 25, joined the Patriots during the offseason.

A few prognosticators have all but handed the job to Bolden.

“We’re all ready to contribute to the team, ” Fleming said. He throws two more good passes, and they go down as incompletions, and the Redskins have to punt. He is fearless over the middle, has tremendous ball skills on deep passes (as we’ve all seen) and is unsafe after the catch. “Because that’s how we prepare around here”.

Well, technically that is true, but it’s due more to the NFC East’s general ineptitude than anything Washington (3-5) has done right so far this season, Gruden’s second in charge. During those years, he got to know Ann Mara, the wife of team patriarch Wellington Mara, and Frank Gifford, the Hall of Famer. Lewis’ great play limited the roles of these backs but his injury will increase their amount of snaps.

“They run everything on offense so it’s like they have tendencies, but they’re not as strong as other teams”.

-OL Bryan Stork (concussion) was activated from IR November 7, the first week he was eligible to return.

The Patriots needed just six plays to make it 14-0 on Blount’s 5-yard run. Realistically, Brady is lapping the field in the MVP race and Lewis isn’t going to be the one to break that up. It was confirmed Monday that he incurred an ACL injury that will require surgery and land him on injured reserve for the season. Harmon seemed to brush off the severity of the ailment after the game.

-T Marcus Cannon (toe) was inactive for the third straight game and has not practiced since suffering the injury in Week 6 at Indianapolis. However, the coverage game was solid, as Washington’s best field position after a kickoff or punt was its own 30-yard line.

This was certainly good news for Patriots fans who have been hoping that 2015 would be a excellent year for the team.

Looking ahead to the second half of the season, the Patriots should continue to roll.
