Rex Burkhead Registers 64 Rushing Yards In Win
6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead carried the ball 18 times for 64 yards in the Patriots 27-20 win over the Texans. Burkhead also caught one pass for five yards and was an active part of the offense. He did fumble once in the game but it was recovered by New England and split backfield carries with Jeremy Hill and James White. Burkhead's skills are best used in the red zone passing game for New England but was not featured as such in Week 1. With Hill's injury status up in the air, Burkhead will be relied on even more so in the coming weeks.
