The New England Patriots are winning 17-14 on Sunday Night Football against the Indianapolis Colts, due in large part to running back LeGarrette Blount being a beast. Blount is listed officially at 250 pounds and that seems like it could be a little light.
Trailing 14-10 in the second quarter, Tom Brady headed off to Blount, who rumbled 38 yards for his fourth touchdown of the season. The Colts are still wondering what the heck just happened.
New England has absolutely pounded the Colts on the ground over the years. Last year in the playoffs, it was all about Blount just running over Indianapolis. The same could be said the year before, when Blount went for four touchdowns in the AFC Divisional game.
Blount actually started 2014 with the Pittsburgh Steelers but was released after having problems with the coaching staff. New England was there to give Blount another chance, and he has earned one Super Bowl ring and is hoping for some more jewelry.
The Patriots are trying to run their record to 5-0 on the season, having already beat the Steelers, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, Indianapolis is 3-2 but has struggled in every game, barely being able to put together a winning record. Andrew Luck is finally back after missing the previous two games with a right shoulder injury.
