Ezekiel Elliott rises to the task as the Patriots’ new No. 1 running back
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports The veteran running back was the Patriots’ most productive player in their 21-18 victory on Thursday Night Football. When Rhamondre Stevenson went down with an ankle injury early in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the New England Patriots wasted no time handing his workload over to Ezekiel Elliott. The veteran running back had only played a complementary role in his first 11 games as a Patriot, but he became the main man. Elliott had some solid moments versus the Chargers, touching the ball 21 times for 92 total...

Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The veteran is the next man up at running back for the Patriots.
