Vince Wilfork has described Arian Foster as a "special player" ahead of their teams' second meeting of the season this weekend.
The New England Patriots face the Houston Texans in the divisional round of the playoffs on Sunday.
The Patriots defensive tackle told reporters: "Last week you saw why this guy is one of the top offensive players in the game, not just a back, but a top offensive player in the game, the things that he can do with the ball in his hands in the pass game and running it.
"He's a great blocker when they ask him to block. I mean he's a special player and we understand that. We know it starts with their running game."
The Texans running back has scored 15 touchdowns this season.
During the regular season, the Patriots comfortably beat the Texans.
