3. Feed Sony Michel

Sony Michel is starting the season off with a bang. In Week 7 I want the Patriots to give Michel plenty of carries.

In Week 6 Michel had another fantastic performance, he ran for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He is a beast with the ball in his hands. Michel runs the ball with authority and is extremely hard to tackle. On most plays Michel is making at least one defender miss because of his strength or speed.

If New England can’t get the passing game going they will have to rely on their running game and for the first time, I’m not nervous about that. The Patriots have had a solid running game overall. Even Kenjon Barner is putting up some nice numbers.

Impact of Josh Gordon’s expanded role. dark. Next

So if the New England Patriots want to win they need to do these 3 things. Chicago may be looked at as a team the Patriots should blowout but I think this game will be closer than some expect.
