WATCH: Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson rumbles for touchdown vs. Jets

Rhamondre Stevenson puts the offense on his back

The New England Patriots battled back in the second half of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, after rookie quarterback Drake Maye left the game at the end of the first half with an injury.

Jacoby Brissett took his place and engineered a touchdown drive.

The veteran had not played since Week 5 of the season. However, he didn’t show any rust on the drive when connecting with Kayshon Boutte and Rhamondre Stevenson on big plays.

The drive itself was set up by a great special teams play from cornerback Marcus Jones, who flipped the field with a solid punt return. Brissett handed the ball off to Stevenson, who scored from six yards out for his fourth touchdown of the season.

The drive itself took six plays, 28 yards and 2:15 off the clock.

It was exactly the kind of drive New England needed to keep pace with the Jets’ high-powered offense.
