VIDEO: Rex Burkhead Plows Through Bills Defense to Give Patriots Late Lead
By Mark Powell
Josh McDaniels and Bill Belichick just stole Sean McDermott's lunch money. After a questionable Bills timeout call, the Patriots forced Buffalo offside, and then cashed in on a Rex Burkhead touchdown run to take back the lead in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game.
Burkhead has made up for his early fumble and then some, potentially capping a successful Patriots comeback. Should New England win on Saturday night, they'd clinch the AFC East and leave the door shut on other teams potentially stealing postseason home-field advantage from them.
McDaniels has called an excellent game, and the Pats' offense suddenly looks a little more capable heading into the final week of the season.
