New England Patriots running back James White rushed six times for 29 yards and 2 touchdowns and caught a Super Bowl record 14-of-16 targets for 110 yards and a third score as the Patriots completed an improbable comeback to win Super Bowl 51 over the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28 in overtime.
What It Means:
White's third touchdown was a game-winning two-yard clincher in overtime to give the Patriots their fifth Super Bowl victory. The 20 touches were a career-high, compared to 11 for LeGarrette Blount and seven for Dion Lewis.
White finished with 7.77 Net Expected Points (NEP) on his 16 targets, and added another 3.83 NEP on the six rushes. Among the 21 running backs with 50 or more targets on the year, White finished with the sixth-best Reception NEP per target.
