TreVeyon Henderson Breaks Out With Two Long TDs as Patriots Win Seventh Straight

New England now must sort out a banged‑up backfield on a short week before hosting the Jets.

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.
