New England Patriots carry on, turn things around in rout – ESPN Boston

The Bills kept daring the Patriots to run by playing their smaller nickel defense (five defensive backs) – which could have even been viewed as a dime with converted safety Bryan Scott (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) at linebacker – when the Patriots had their bigger personnel on the field. So the Patriots ran it. And ran it. And ran it some more, ringing up 247 yards and four touchdowns, with rookie Brandon Bolden (137 yards, 16 carries, TD) and second-year man Stevan Ridley (106 yards, 22 carries, 2 TDs) in starring roles.
