Watch Dion Lewis’s electrifying 103-yard touchdown on a kickoff return
After an early special teams mistake helped to hand the Patriots the opening touchdown in Denver on Sunday night, a second miscue allowed Dion Lewis to double New England’s total.
The speedy Patriots running back took a first quarter kickoff return 103 yards for a touchdown. It left the Broncos trailing 14-3. Here’s Lewis’s electrifying runback:
