Overview
- Henderson logged 14 carries for 147 yards with touchdown runs of 55 and 69 yards in a 28-23 road win over the Buccaneers.
- He became the first Patriots running back to record two rushing touchdowns of 50-plus yards in the same game.
- Stefon Diggs said he "talked mad junk" to Henderson at halftime to challenge him, and the rookie said the veteran’s leadership kept him motivated.
- Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was inactive and Terrell Jennings exited with a knee injury; coach Mike Vrabel said Jennings is being evaluated ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the Jets.
- Henderson briefly left for a leg check before returning, and on his late 69-yard score he glanced to the sideline for guidance—a choice Vrabel later endorsed; rookie WR Kyle Williams added a 72-yard touchdown catch.
