The Patriots faced a tough Sunday afternoon, falling to the Bills 35-31. New England started strong, holding a commanding 24-7 lead at halftime.
However, the Patriots struggled to advance the ball in the second half, scoring only once, on a 65-yard touchdown run by TreVeyon Henderson.
Tight end Hunter Henry shared his thoughts on areas where New England could have improved their offensive play.
“Sustaining drives, picking up some third downs,” Henry said on Sunday. “I had some penalties, put us behind the sticks, negative plays. So, staying ahead of the chains. In the first half we were ahead of the chains a lot and didn’t have many third downs, and then it was just a different story in the second half. You have to give them credit, they did some things, mixed it up and were able to execute it.”
Henry didn’t make a significant impact on the game, ending with just one reception for 18 yards. He wasn’t the only one struggling in the passing game, as quarterback Drake Maye completed only 14 passes for 155 yards.
