Hoping to extend that to seven, the Patriots had a good opportunity to go into halftime with the lead against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. The game started rough, but with masterful clock management to end the half and potentially the play of the weekend by Stefon Diggs with a toe touch touchdown, they finished the half up 14-10, with hopes of finally double-scoring, as they had the football to start the third quarter.

In addition, starting wide receiver Kayshon Boutte will be out with a hamstring injury and starting linebacker Christian Elliss will also miss the game due to a hip ailment. In Stevenson's absence last week against the Falcons, the Patriots increased the workload of Henderson, their second-round draft pick from Ohio State. Henderson played a season-high 51 offensive snaps (of a possible 68) and finished with a team-high 55 rushing yards on 14 carries, while adding 4 receptions for 32 yards.

Henderson's lack of production hasn't been due to poor play. There's been a lack of touches. He has approximately two games' worth of carries, rushing for 121 yards on 32 totes. In unfortunate circumstances, his volume will go up because of the news that Antonio Gibson is lost for the season to an ACL injury he suffered against the Buffalo Bills.

A national championship, a meteoric rise in fantasy rankings, and now, a proposal. Patriots dynamic rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson announced on Instagram Tuesday that he had gotten engaged, posting a photo with his brand new fiancée, complete with an apparent "Marry Me" sign and rose petals. "'Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.' ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭30," he captioned the pic.

After scoring two touchdowns in the preseason, Henderson is becoming a popular pick in fantasy football drafts.

The biggest thing that taught me last year is that I learned how to be unselfish. I learned how to put the team over my individual goals and what I wanted to accomplish, and so that's the biggest thing coming here.

"My mindset is that every time I get the ball, I'm trying to make the playcaller give me the ball some more. I'm always trying to make plays."

"TreVeyon Henderson is a 'home run pick' for the Patriots... he was definitely the best pass-blocking back in the country." - James White.
