Overview
- Chism logged his first NFL reception on a 30-yard catch and later added a 10-yard touchdown, finishing with two grabs for 40 yards.
- The rookie played a career-high 41 snaps after Mack Hollins went on injured reserve and Kayshon Boutte entered concussion protocol.
- Drake Maye passed for 256 yards with a career-high five touchdowns on 90.5% completions, connecting with seven different receivers.
- Hollins’ IR designation keeps him out at least through the divisional round, and coaches signaled Chism will continue to see snaps during that stretch.
- Coaches and teammates praised Chism’s preparation, noting he lined up outside, in the slot, and in-line as New England leaned on its depth.
