This Week in Running: KC Recap
 
The New England Patriots’ running game failed to establish itself against the Chiefs on Monday night. On a night where only three wide-receivers were in uniform, the coaching staff continued to rely on the pass. New England managed 75 yards rushing on 16 carries, a respectable 4.7-yard average. However, a number of these plays were executed late in the second half when the game was well out-of-reach. Rookie James White had New England’s longest run of the night, an 11-yard gain in the 4th quarter. Even with this success, the coaching staff moved away from the running game as they attempted a comeback on the road.

[Stork] fared well in run blocking on Monday night. While there were flaws with his performance, especially in the passing game, Patriots fans have reason to believe that New England has found their center for the foreseeable future.
 
 
Well, if true, this would be the best news to come out of this game.
