James White gave the Patriots the lead over the Bills just before halftime
Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have been rolling all season, coming into their Week 11 matchup on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills with a 9-0 record. However, fans worried that the offense may not look the same first without Dion Lewis and now without Julian Edelman. Brady, Bill Belichick, and James Whiter proved that it’s just revolving pieces in an infallible system in New England.
After the first 29 minutes of the first half were characterized by defense, the Patriots were driving to try and put points on the board right before halftime. Just on the edge of the red zone, Brady swung a pass out to White in the flat on the right side. White then bowled over a Bills defender and then broke another tackle before getting into the end zone to pick up the six and give New England the 10-3 lead:
Don't try to ankle tackle James White.

He will shake and bake his way to the end zone. #BUFvsNE https://t.co/DzNMGKiXDG
If White, a second-year running back out of Wisconsin, was the third running back on the Patriots’ depth chart at the start of the season, then the Patriots may actually be cheating somehow. That run-after-catch looked like a Pro Bowler, not filler on the depth chart. Sometimes, especially when they get their offense clicking, the Pats just really aren’t fair.
