Following Sunday’s snowy affair in Foxborough, Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott admitted that playing in that kind of weather didn’t really live up to his expectations.
Telling MassLive.com’s Mark Daniels, “When I was younger, I always wanted to play a game in the snow. Then I play a game in the snow and was like, that kind of sucked.”
