Henderson finished his night with 19 carries, five receptions, 93 scrimmage yards, and three total touchdowns."
"Henderson definitely introduced himself to the NFL world on Thursday night, but so did a bunch of his teammates. From Maye, to rookie left tackle Will Campbell, to No. 1 cornerback Christian Gonzalez, the Patriots already have a solid young core of players to build around. Those players came up huge against a Jets team that was completely outclassed in the second half."
"Henderson got off to a slow start this season, with the low point coming in Week 7 at Tennessee. With No. 1 running back Rhamondre Stevenson performing well and rarely leaving the field, Henderson wound up posting season-lows in total snaps (9), rush attempts (2) and total scrimmage yards (5). Things have changed considerably for Henderson and the Patriots' entire rushing attack ever since."
