The next week, on MNF at Arrowhead, we should've used the same strategy against N.E. that we used at Baltimore.....pound the hell out of their defense. That's how Pittsburgh had beat them earlier. But instead, LJ didn't play and Blaylock only averaged 3 yards per carry.

When Saunders was finally forced to give LJ a chance to play, they ran off a 4 game winning streak.

Thanks for refreshing my memory. I knew I wasn't imagining it.
