Take a look at Smith-Schuster’s touchdown, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

WATCH: Patriots RB Antonio Gibson bulldozes for touchdown on Colts

Antonio Gibson averaged 8.9 yards per carry against the Colts. Should he be utilized more?

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson had a stellar day running all over the Indianapolis Colts’ defense on Sunday. He scored his first touchdown of the season in the third quarter of the game and gave the Patriots a brief lead in the process.

The veteran running back scampered his way into the end zone on an 11-yard run. The touchdown concluded a nine-play, 54-yard drive that took 3:17 off the clock.

Gibson finished the game with seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 8.9 yards on the ground per carry against the Colts.

One has to wonder if the Patriots will give Gibson more carries considering how efficient he was with the ball in his hands on Sunday.

Rhamondre Stevenson had a strong outing as well, but Gibson has proven himself as a strong complementary option out of the offensive backfield for New England.

WATCH: Christian Gonzalez gets interception while being face-masked

Christian Gonzalez is on another level

New England Patriots corner Christian Gonzalez continued his high-level of play this season with an acrobatic interception on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts while being face-masked.

The interception was part of a productive day for the rising star defensive back, who allowed no catches and no yards in the game. He was only targeted once with the Colts mostly throwing away from him.

It was his second interception of the season. He made a tough read in a tight space and leveraged himself in front of the receiver to come down with the grab. The turnover showed off his athleticism, ball skills and overall toughness as a playmaker.

The Patriots ended up losing a tough game by a 25-24 margin. It has been a difficult season for New England, but Gonzalez has been a bright spot for the team as a major building block for the future of the defense.

WATCH: Patriots LB Christian Elliss snags pop-up interception vs. Colts

Christian Elliss came up with a takeaway against the Colts

The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts looked like two evenly matched football teams with both sides making plays on the ball throughout Sunday’s game.

The Patriots’ defense made several solid plays of their own, including an interception by linebacker Christian Elliss in the first quarter that led to points on the ensuing offensive drive.

The interception was recorded off a tipped pass by Jahlani Tavai. Elliss was able to grab the ball and run it back for additional field position. It was Elliss’ first interception of his NFL career.

It was a day where turnovers and field position loomed large for both teams.

Elliss’ contribution was certainly noteworthy on a day when the Patriots mostly struggled defensively. He is starting to prove that he’s more than just a special-teamer as he continues to make defensive plays for New England.

WATCH: Drake Maye takes off and explodes for big running play

Drake Maye has some wheels on him

The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts had some offensive fireworks to start Sunday’s game.

Quarterback Drake Maye made one of the biggest plays of the day for the Patriots with a huge running play that put the team in Indy’s territory.

Maye made the most of a collapsing pocket by scrambling behind the left guard for 41 yards. He weaved his way through Colts defenders, setting the Patriots up in good field position. The drive ended with a field goal, but Maye once again showed off his explosive running ability.

We have seen the rookie quarterback run the ball several times this season, and it’s clearly an important part of his game. It has opened things up in a major way for a Patriots team with a struggling offensive line.

Maye buying time with his legs and making plays happen has been the best avenue of success for New England.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray is having a breakout month of November and has continued his run of dominance against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
