So I’ve been looking back at the 96 team since that is the team that ultimately made me love football.
Here’s a crazy thing I noticed from the game against INDY that year.
The Pats opened with two really long drives, one for 10 plays and one for 11 plays.
So that’s 21 plays of which 18 of them were rushes by Curtis Martin!
Nowadays I raise an eyebrow when a runner rushes it three plays in a row. Martin received 18 in the first 21 plays. 9 of the first 10 plays were handoffs to Martin.
what a workhorse!
