Patriots RB corps a dynamic force

He'll be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day, and many, including Texans head coach Bill O'Brien, say Brady's the best quarterback ever.

But don't sleep on LeGarrette Blount and the Patriots run game.

The bruising back rumbled for 1,161 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2016.

“Blount is a just a very, very big guy, but he’s got really good athleticism," O'Brien said. "He’s very difficult to tackle. He never stops his legs. He’s always churning for extra yards. You have to square him up in the hole. You’re not going to be able to get him down with a glancing blow from the side you know and he’s really been a productive player for them.
