Well, it turns out Elandon Roberts can do more as a fullback than just hit (expletive) in the face.
Roberts was the surprise recipient of a Tom Brady touchdown pass late in the third quarter Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium. The Miami Dolphins failed to pick up Roberts, who made a nice catch on a wheel route, stiff-armed a defender and jolted to the end zone to help New England knot things up at 17-17.
Patriots fans were fired up by Robert’s first career touchdown, and they expressed their excitement on Twitter.
