Patriots coach Mike Vrabel says he loved the hit linebacker Christian Elliss put on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart on Monday night.

Midway through the first quarter of Monday night's matchup between the Giants and Patriots, New England linebacker Christian Elliss put a hard, legal hit on Jaxson Dart as the quarterback was headed toward the sideline to cap a scramble.

A fight started on Monday night after Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss drilled Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart near the sideline.

Johnson was first on the scene following a hard hit by Christian Elliss down the sideline on a Dart scramble in the first quarter, sparking a gathering of bodies near the New England bench. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, that would go down as his top contribution on the field while catching only three of his eight targets, the final incompletion of which occurred on the team's final play from scrimmage with under a minute to play. He remains an integral part of the offense but will need to find the end zone at greater frequency before he is regarded as anything more than a top end TE2 in fantasy.
