Occasionally the NFL makes a stat change following a game, and Jonas Gray is finding himself the beneficiary of one following his performance on Sunday night.
The league erased a 2-yard loss he encountered at the 10:31 mark of the fourth quarter, which incurred a face mask penalty on the same play by Colts linebacker Jerrell Freeman. The play resulted in a first down thanks to the penalty, but the league changed the penalty to a "no play" penalty, erasing the play along with the loss of yardage, moving Gray's final total from 199-yards to 201 on the night.
That play had been Gray's only negative rush of the game. He had only two other carries for no gain, while the rest went for positive yardage.
Here's how his rushes broke down by distance gained:
No Gain: 2
1-5 yards: 22
6-10 yards: 9
Over 10-20 yards: 4
As noted by the team's official Twitter feed, this change makes Gray just the 3rd 200+ yard rusher in Patriots history.
