When the New England Patriots needed pivotal yards in the AFC Championship Game, they leaned on their best, most important players. As has been the case time and time again, quarterback Tom Brady connected with wide receiver Julian Edelman and tight end Rob Gronkowski, as the Patriots offense didn’t even let the Kansas City Chiefs touch the ball in overtime en route to a Super Bowl-clinching win. And while it was the air attack that helped convert three (!) third-and-10 situations in the extra frame, New England actually went run-heavy upon reaching the red zone: three Rex Burkhead runs, 15 yards, ballgame.

Why Eric Dickerson Claims Rams Banned Him From Sideline During Games
Eric Dickerson arguably is the greatest player in Los Angeles Rams history, but the team apparently wants nothing to do with him. During a radio appearance Monday morning on 750 AM in Los Angeles, the Hall of Fame running back claimed the Rams reached out to him specifically and told him not to attend the team’s home games. “We joke about it on the show, but I did get a call from upper management,” Dickerson said, as transcribed by For the Win. “Somebody from upper management called me and said I make the players feel uncomfortable about some of the stuff I’ve said on the radio.
