It was the Rex Burkhead show this past Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
Burkhead scored three touchdowns in the New England Patriots' 36-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The running back's first touchdown of the game arguably was his best. Burkhead hauled in a screen pass from Cam Newton before leaving Raiders safety Jonathan Abram in the dust with a nasty cut and leaping into the end zone.
The eighth-year pro's score prompted an uncharacteristic reaction from Bill Belichick, who shuffled down the sideline and put his arms in the touchdown formation. Burkhead's cut also inspired a great line from backup quarterback Brian Hoyer.
"Chris Berman's gonna be, 'Whoop! Whoop!' Hoyer said on the sideline.

Burkhead and the Patriots on Sunday will try to notch back-to-back wins for the first time this season. It will be a tall task, however, as the Kansas City Chiefs have looked unstoppable through three games.
