New England Patriots defensive end Keion White admittedly feels like his run defense hasn’t been good in recent outings.
White has been one of the more impactful players on the Patriots’ defense this season. He has made his mark as a pass-rusher, recording five sacks as well as two forced fumbles this season.
Nevertheless, he feels as though he is not playing well in terms of stopping the run, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

As a team, the Patriots rank in the bottom half of the league with 130.4 rushing yards allowed per game.
The Patriots’ run defense will be tested again in Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. A more disciplined effort from White and company is the best hope for a turnaround performance.
