Fans Chant MVP for TreVeyon Henderson, Not Drake Maye, on Thursday Night
In a thrilling Thursday night game at Gillette Stadium, chants of “MVP” echoed as fans recognized the impressive performance of rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson. Although the voices aimed at quarterback Drake Maye, he humorously redirected the spotlight to his teammate after the team secured a 27-14 victory over the Jets.
TreVeyon Henderson Shines
Henderson was the star of the night, scoring all three touchdowns for the New England Patriots. This performance marked an impressive total of five touchdowns over the last two games. Henderson’s contributions have been vital, especially with veteran running back Rhamondre Stevenson sidelined due to a toe injury.
Maye’s Praise for Henderson
Following the game, Maye acknowledged Henderson’s pivotal role. He noted, “It’s been great for him to get all these reps.” The rookie has shown a strong desire to improve, frequently seeking advice and guidance.
- Game Outcome: Patriots 27, Jets 14
- Henderson’s Touchdowns: 3
- Total Touchdowns in Last 2 Games: 5
- Stevenson’s Injury: Toe injury
Maye further expressed confidence in the combination of Henderson and Stevenson when he returns, suggesting their partnership could create a dynamic backfield. He said, “Looking forward to having Mondre back, but TreVeyon stepped up huge.”
Although the “MVP” chants were intended for Maye, Henderson’s emergence as a key player undoubtedly enhances Maye’s chances of receiving the coveted award by season’s end. This duo’s synergy on the field could prove crucial for the Patriots as they push through the remainder of the season.
