Patriots running back Shane Vereen piled up 124 total yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns during New England's 41-28 rout of Houston in the AFC Divisional Playoff game Sunday. Vereen, who entered the game with just five career touchdowns, became the third player in postseason history to have two receiving touchdowns and one rushing score in the same game, according to Elias Sports Bureau. On the ground, he chewed up 41 yards on seven carries and reached the end zone on a 1-yard run in the first quarter. Vereen was also one of three Patriots players with at least 80 receiving yards as he posted five catches for 83 yards. His touchdowns came on passes of 8 and 33 yards from quarterback Tom Brady.
