"That might have been a possibility before Antonio Gibson suffered what appears to be a severe leg injury during their Sunday Night Football matchup with the Bills, but now that he will likely be out for a significant amount of time, Mike Vrabel has no choice but to keep Stevenson in. And he made it clear that was the plan by keeping him in for the entirety of this past Sunday's game."
"It was another brutal showing for Stevenson, who appeared to have put the fumbling issue in his past, only for it to become a big problem again so far this season. He redeemed himself against the Bills by scoring the only two touchdowns for the Patriots, and from what he said in the post-game press conference, there's one player who can be thanked for his mindset."
