3. Dion Lewis’ juking past Cowboys

You might have seen the Twitter reaction piece compiled here on Musket Fire in the wake of Lewis’ jaw-dropping juke effort that got him past three, four Cowboys into the end zone. Here’s the visual:

Unreal. There hasn’t been a player quite like Lewis on the Patriots’ roster in some time, and he was missed in Week 10. This play was perhaps his best highlight of the season, although there were plenty of other plays he made. 31 of Lewis’ 99 total touches translated into first downs for the Pats, not to mention his four touchdowns (two rushing, two receiving).

In such a charged game against the Cowboys, in the NFL bread basket that is the Cowboys’ AT&T stadium, this play propelled Lewis into the national conversation.

The attention turns now to James White, who saw just two touches against the Giants. It appears the Patriots are going to rely on the ground game a bit more with LeGarrette Blount, and that’s a good thing. They did that last year in the playoffs and it worked out fine. That being said, it would be nice if White got a bit more involved and at least provided a receiving threat resembling Lewis to some degree.
