Stefon Diggs Shines Against Zone Coverage; Kyle Williams Struggles in Patriots' Win

AutoDraft Pro AI

Stefon Diggs had a strong performance for the New England Patriots in their 27-14 victory over the New York Jets, catching nine of his 11 targets for 105 yards, particularly feasting against the Jets' zone coverage. Diggs found soft spots in the secondary, with seven of his targets resulting in first downs. Quarterback Drake Maye also had a solid game, completing 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards and a touchdown, extending plays effectively. Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson scored all three of the Patriots' touchdowns and forced a career-high nine missed tackles. In contrast, rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams struggled, failing to record a catch on three targets despite playing 67% of offensive snaps while filling in for Kayshon Boutte. The Patriots' run defense also allowed 5.0 yards per carry, and safety Craig Woodson allowed an easy touchdown.
