Patriots' Diggs Fires Up Henderson's 2 TDs

Stefon Diggs gave rookie TreVeyon Henderson a blunt halftime push and it paid off—Henderson ripped off 55- and 69-yard touchdown runs, finished with 147 rushing yards and helped New England beat Tampa Bay 28-23. Diggs admitted he’s “definitely hard on TreVeyon” because he sees “so much potential in him,” and even told him, “Those great backs don't get tackled. I want to see you score.” Merlin sees veteran voice changing a young player's story. Henderson had lived in a backfield rotation, but two explosive scores and his first 100-yard game shift the pecking order—provided he sustains that decisiveness and the coaches reward it. Opponents will now game-plan for him; his next few carries will tell the true tale.
