Overview
- New England improved to 7-2 as Douglas led the offense with four catches for 100 yards and a touchdown, with each reception converting a first down.
- Douglas said postgame that his uncle was shot and killed Saturday night and he wore eye black reading "WOP Forever" and "LL UNC" as a tribute.
- Rookie quarterback Drake Maye connected with Douglas on a 58-yard completion, the longest pass of Maye’s NFL career.
- Running back Terrell Jennings, a former high school teammate of Douglas, was signed to the 53-man roster Wednesday and scored his first NFL touchdown while mourning the same loss.
- Injuries reshaped roles as Kayshon Boutte left with a hamstring injury and Rhamondre Stevenson was ruled out Friday, opening snaps that boosted Douglas’s and Jennings’s usage ahead of a Week 10 visit to Tampa Bay on Nov. 9.
