The New England Patriots headed into Dallas on Sunday afternoon and continued the impressive play that they’ve showcased consistently so far this season.
One of the most surprising contributors to New England’s success this year has been Dion Lewis, who might be this season’s best underdog story. The 25-year-old running back stands only 5’7 tall but made the Patriots roster after failing to catch on with any team last season and has become a key part of the Patriots offense already.

Lewis’ latest and most impressive highlight came at the expense of several Cowboys defenders, who just couldn’t wrap up the slippery back and keep him out of the end zone. Lewis caught a red zone pass from Tom Brady in the third quarter and appeared to be destined for a very short gain as a crowd of Dallas players swarmed him, but Lewis managed to juke out one defender and duck under another as he scampered to six points. It was an incredible display of creativity, and one that helped the Pats pad an already comfy lead.
