The rush attack was fully activated for the New England Patriots in a 54-13 rout of the New York Jets in Week 7.
Damien Harris had 14 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns while J.J. Taylor had 21 yards on the ground and two touchdowns — his first time scoring in an NFL game. Taylor, who was activated to the roster after being a healthy scratch last week, was an undrafted rookie last season and he continues to prove why he should play consistently.
Harris loved seeing Taylor’s success and he made sure to meet up with him in the end zone following his first touchdown. Harris spoke about the moment following the game and was elated to see the young running back score.
“Probably the fastest I ran all game,”
Damien Harris says smiling, before adding: “You see a young guy have that success, and have that hard work pay off, it’s a great feeling.” https://t.co/RwqN5eze8z— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) October 24, 2021

This running back duo will need to be equally, or more dominant when they see the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8.
