Henderson’s Hat Trick Beats Jets as Rookie’s Two-Game Surge Powers Patriots to 9-2

The breakout has sharpened focus on how New England will allocate backfield roles when Rhamondre Stevenson is available again.

Overview

  • TreVeyon Henderson scored three touchdowns in a 27-14 win over the Jets, with two rushing scores and his first NFL receiving touchdown.
  • Across four days the rookie totaled five touchdowns, following 55- and 69-yard rushing TDs against the Buccaneers.
  • He joined Rob Gronkowski as the only Patriots rookies with three touchdowns in a game and became part of a franchise group with 200-plus scrimmage yards and five TDs over two games.
  • Henderson logged heavy usage with 24 touches for 93 yards versus New York after 15 touches for 150 yards versus Tampa Bay while filling in for the injured Stevenson.
  • Drake Maye went 25-of-34 for 281 yards with no turnovers to reach 20 passing TDs this season, and the Patriots now get extra rest before facing the Bengals on Nov. 23.
