Paces backfield in carries, yardage Stevenson rushed 12 times for 69 yards and secured his only target for six yards in the Patriots' 25-0 win over the Falcons on Thursday night. Impact The rookie had Damien Harris to contend with for carries Thursday since the latter was able to return from a one-game absence due to a concussion. However, there was ample opportunity for both backs with New England enjoying a comfortable lead through most of the contest, and Stevenson ended up pacing the team in carries and rushing yards while averaging an impressive 5.8 yards per tote. Given his 100-yard, two-touchdown effort in Week 10 against the Browns, it's certainly possible that the narrow timeshare between Stevenson and Harris persists the rest of the way, with the next opportunity to see how that might unfold coming in a Week 12 home showdown against the Titans a week from Sunday.
