1. Establish the run game

I want the New England Patriots to establish the run game early in Super Bowl LIII. We all know that Tom Brady can work his magic and tear apart a defense, but if New England can establish the run game it will make his life a lot easier.

Sony Michel has been amazing so far in the postseason. He has 53 carries for 242 yards and 5 touchdowns. That is pretty impressive for a rookie.

Michel is an absolute beast. He can run over players and has some great speed. Michel has also been blessed with some great play from his offensive line.

If the run game wants to succeed the Patriots offensive line will have to deal with the monster that is Aaron Donald. He is the only player stopping the Patriots from succeeding on the ground.

A good day in the Super Bowl for Sony Michel will most likely mean that the rookie will be going home with a Super Bowl ring.
