"We saw the rise of rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson, who looks like he might have stolen the starting job already, the growing importance of Hunter Henry on the field, and the benefits of signing Stefon Diggs, despite every other team in the league not wanting to take the risk. The veteran receiver proved he hadn't missed a beat since recovering from his ACL injury, and put together back-to-back 100-yard games midseason and recorded another in Week 11 against the Jets."
"Part of that can be blamed on the defense double-covering him, but that shouldn't have eliminated him from the entirety of the game. That can't be a mistake they make again this week, especially since the Ravens have a weak secondary, as Mark Daniels of MassLive pointed out. This is a game to take advantage of that and utilize Diggs as much as possible, particularly with a questionable defense going against players like QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry."
Patriots rode a 10-game win streak fueled by a developing relationship between OC Josh McDaniels and QB Drake Maye, plus emerging contributors. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson appears to have claimed a primary running role while tight end Hunter Henry has grown in importance. Signing Stefon Diggs provided immediate receiving firepower as he posted consecutive 100-yard games and another in Week 11. Diggs' snap counts have sharply declined over the past month, creating questions about his health and coaching decisions. After recent offensive miscues, the offense needs to feature Diggs more, especially against the Ravens' vulnerable secondary and frequent man coverage.
