New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson delivered a big play in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders.
His 64-yard touchdown run helped give the Patriots a 14-10 lead with 6:06 remaining in the first half.
Center David Andrews and right guard Sidy Sow opened the initial hole, then Stevenson made safety Percy Butler miss before turning up the field. With wide receiver Jalen Reagor staying locked on his block, Stevenson was never touched as he raced into the end zone.
"It was a great team effort," Stevenson said after the game. "The offensive line did a fantastic job creating that initial hole, and Jalen Reagor's block was crucial. I just did my part and made the most of the opportunity."
Linebacker Jahlani Tavai's forced fumble changed the complexion of the game. The Patriots scored their first touchdown three plays later -- as Jones hit tight end Hunter Henry for 14 yards -- before Stevenson's big TD run.
"That fumble really shifted the momentum," Jones explained. "We knew we needed a spark, and Rhamondre's touchdown gave us exactly that. It was a turning point for us."
Stevenson's 64-yard jaunt was the Patriots' longest rushing touchdown since Damien Harris' 64-yard run at the Bills on Dec. 6, 2021.
