TreVeyon Henderson Scores Third TD on 'Never Seen Before' McDaniels Play Design

AutoDraft Pro AI

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson scored his third touchdown of the season, a six-yard passing touchdown from Drake Maye, in the team's 27-14 victory over the New York Jets. The play, which gave the Patriots a 21-7 lead midway through the third quarter, featured a 'never seen before' creative wrinkle from offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Henderson ran a corner route from the backfield, exploiting a confused Jets defense that was split between man and zone coverage, allowing Maye to find him wide-open. Former Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson praised the innovative play design, contributing to the Patriots' improved red zone efficiency.
