New England Patriots: Three bold predictions for Week 3 vs. Lions
By Sam Minton
Sony Michel will have 2 touchdowns
The hype surrounding Sony Michel continues to grow by the minute. Fans (especially me) believe that he could become one of the league’s best backs.
In Michel’s first NFL game he had 10 carries for 34 yards. Michel showed some explosiveness and wasn’t shying away from contact.
I think Michel will be getting a lot more carries in Week 3. He was the Patriots best running back on the ground. Michel should be getting most of the carries with Rex Burkhead and James White taking over the responsibility on 3rd down.
One of the main reasons I believe Michel will get his first 2 career touchdowns in Detroit because the Lions suck this year, and Michel should be getting the ball in the red zone.
We will have to wait and see but everyone is waiting for Sony Michel to take over the NFL, and maybe even make a case for Rookie of the Year.
