Dion Lewis picked a good time to have a career game.
The Patriots running back became the first player in NFL postseason history to score a touchdown in three different ways -- kickoff, reception, rush -- and generally looked like a nightmare X-factor in New England's 34-16 win over the Houston Texans.
To think, I got traded for #DionLewis back in 2013.... someone needs to be fired for that. He a beast!

Because Twitter can be a truly marvelous place when it's not busy being terrible, the man who actually greenlit that deal soon chimed in.
I traded you for Dion and got fired. Go figure ! Hope you are well. https://t.co/bVpX0uBUEo

Acho, out of football and serving as an analyst for the Longhorns Network, is cool with how it played out.
Ha. I'm eternally grateful you got me out of Cleveland! https://t.co/XVA1NVHS9q

By the way, the Patriots are now 15-0 in games in which Dion Lewis is active. How the hell did the Browns decide he wasn't good enough to be on their team?
