RANDOMNESS FROM PATRIOTS' THRASHING OF CHARGERS

Julian Edelman now ranks 2nd all-time with 98 post-season catches. In position #1 is none other than the father of his prom date, Jerry Rice.  Rice's record is 151

Late in Sunday’s divisional game the Bolts tried to force the Patriots into a lost possession via the onside kick. For some strange reason they kicked the ball at Nate Ebner twice in a row. Why is that such a strange thing to do? Well, when Ebner isn’t playing football he is playing highly competitive rugby. So competitive that he was on the USA’s most recent Olympic team. If you are the least bit familiar with rugby, you know a ball isn’t likely to bounce off his chest towards his opponent. In rugby that’s a “knock-on”, which is an automatic turnover.

Sony Michel's first NFL post season game was impressive.  He had 24 carries for 129 yards and 3 touchdowns.  He also had one reception for 9 yards.  In college Michel had some pretty solid numbers in his bowl games.
