1. Sony doesn’t suck

Wow, look at that. Sony Michel is actually a great running back.

Plenty of people were writing off Michel as a bust. The rookie proved his doubters wrong on Sunday.

Michel had a great game. He carried the ball 25 times and had 112 yards and scored his first rushing touchdown. Michel announced his arrival in Week 4.

When you watch Michel run you can see his potential. Michel is a patient back. He waits to let the blocks develop and then finds the hole.

Also, Michel can just run through people. He must bath his jersey in oil because opposing players seem to have issues taking him down. Defenders seem to just slip off of Michel.

In Week 4 Michel was a much more dominant runner and looked like he belonged. If the Patriots offensive line can continue to do well, Sony Michel could have a great rookie season.
