Patriots Vs. Browns: Peyton Hillis Leads in Upset, Should Get Pro Bowl Votes Now

Daniel WolfNov 7, 2010

The Cleveland Browns have done the unthinkable in beating a top-tier NFL team for the second game in a row by beating the New England Patriots 34-14 in Cleveland.

Browns running back Peyton Hillis led the charge running for 184 yards on the ground, catching three passes for 36 yards and two touchdowns in the upset victory.

Hillis, who was acquired this past off season by the Browns when they traded quarterback Brady Quinn to the Denver Broncos, has paid dividends for the Browns this season.

Not to take away from the fact that rookie quarterback Colt McCoy has really solidified himself as the Browns' starter and future quarterback (2-1 as a starter), Hillis has also now become a real threat in the NFL as the premier power runner.

Even though Hillis fumbled the ball against the Patriots to bring his season total to four, his hard running style has endeared himself to the Browns faithful in a way that Kevin Mack did back in the 1980s.

Hillis has ran for 644 yards on the grounds this season with an average of 4.8 yards per carry and seven touchdowns.

Not only has Hillis dominated opposing defenses on the ground, but he has found success catching passes too.

Hillis has caught 30 passes for 229 yards and one touchdown too.

In a league that has popular running backs the likes of Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson, who will get a ton of Pro Bowl votes, look for Hillis' votes to increase now since the Browns Backer community is one of the largest in the NFL.

Hillis for the Pro Bowl.
