You've heard of yards after contact. How about yards during contact?

LeGarrette Blount helped the New England Patriots extend an already commanding lead in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with an incredible display of power in the third quarter.

After first coming into contact with defenders around the 10-yard line, the veteran running back continued to drive his legs and carried the Steelers' defense all the way inside the two.

Blount would punch it in just one play later, putting the Patriots up 27-9 and moving the perennial contenders one step closer to yet another Super Bowl berth.
