Patriots RB Sony Michel shines in Monday night blowout

Former Georgia running back Sony Michel had a touchdown party this Monday night, as the New England Patriots blanked the New York Jets 33-0 in the Meadowlands.

Michel finished the contest with 19 carries for 42 yards and 3 TD’s, a new NFL career high in scores for him.

The former Georgia great also has as many touchdowns (6) less than halfway through the regular season (7 games) as he had all of last years regular season.  That being said, he absolutely went off in the playoffs and had the only TD of last seasons Super Bowl victory.

Nice play call there by Josh McDaniels on the TD. Both the new tight ends – Tomlinson and Watson – with key blocks to help usher Sony Michel into the end zone. #Patriots pic.twitter.com/QijHuf5Af3
