""I'm definitely hard on TreVeyon because I see so much potential," Diggs said. "I've been around some great backs in my career and I was telling him, 'Those great backs don't get tackled, and I want to see you score.' So him coming out there and busting two of them, it's good to be hard on people, I guess.""
""Henderson responded to Diggs' words at halftime with the 72-yard scoring run at the start of the third quarter, then added the 69-yarder late in the fourth to help put away the game. He became the first player in Patriots history to record two touchdown runs of more than 50 yards in the same game. A second-round pick (No. 38) out of Ohio State, he finished with a career-high 147 yards on 14 carries.""
""With rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams also delivering a 72-yard catch-and-run touchdown at the end of the first quarter, the Patriots received much-needed contributions from two of their youngest players. Williams had an expanded role as the team was without starting receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), while Henderson stepped up for the second straight week in place of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe).""
