Song of the Week: Hillis leaves Pats thunderstruck

I’ve decided to create a new blog segment called the Song of the Week. The song I choose will be based on either something going on in the world that has gotten my attention, or it will simply highlight a song that I can’t get out of my head at the moment. So without further ado, here’s the first song.

Going into this past Sunday’s game, the Patriots were riding high, and they had every right to be. After all, they had the NFL’s best record at 6-1. All that was standing in the way of 7-1 was the lowly Browns.

Little did the Pats know, the Browns had a secret weapon up their sleeves in the form of a 260-pound tank of a running back named Peyton Hillis. It’s safe to say he’s not a secret anymore after punishing the New England defense to the tune of over 180 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in a startling 34-14 butt-kicking.

Even as the Patriot defense was putting nine and 10 men in the box to try to stop Hillis, it was all for not. There’s nothing worse in football than knowing you can’t stop someone, no matter how hard you try. And there’s no doubt that the Pats defense had no answer for Hillis at all, as he left them thunderstruck.
