The Patriots have been able to maintain their lead over the Texans on Saturday evening with much thanks to Dion Lewis.

Lewis had a historic game, becoming the first player in NFL postseason history to have a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown, and a kick return for touchdown in the same game.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill made the same feat during the regular season against the Oakland Raiders, and became the first rookie to do so. Gale Sayers also accomplished this touchdown trifecta in 1965.
Lewis’ first touchdown came from this 13-yard pass from Tom Brady, where he sprinted down the sideline and cruised into the end zone.
Then Lewis sped past everybody for a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, finishing off what was a great first quarter:
The third play was a simple punching in at the goal line, giving the Patriots a 31-16 lead.
The Patriots always seem to have players step up in big games, and Lewis has certainly done that against the Texans.
