Patriots' LeGarrette Blount Hurdles a Grown Man Like He Was a Living Room Footstool

Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount plays in one of the most physically demanding leagues in the world, but for all you would know, he's just playing games around the house.

Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount plays in one of the most physically demanding leagues in the world, but for all you know, he's just playing games around the house. The 6'0", 250-pound Blount started what would be a 26-yard dash in the fourth quarter, saw a defender bringing that weak sauce, and so he just jumped over the man—like he was a piece of goddamn living room furniture.

The Patriots went down a QB when Jimmy Garoppolo injured his shoulder and was carted off in the second quarter—so some heroics were in order to stave off the hungry Dolphins nipping at their heels. Rookie Jacoby Brissett stepped into place and did a decent job of holding it down, allowing the Patriots to squeak out a 31-24 win. No doubt, though, that Brissett has Blount's supermanning to thank for at least a little bit of that. Because: damn.
