On an afternoon that watched the Patriots’ offense enjoy its most successful scoring output since 2021’s Week 17, perhaps it only made sense for New England’s pass-catching red zone specialist to join the touchdown fray. Only one Sunday removed from a two-touchdown performance that left him among his franchise’s greats at the tight end position, Hunter Henry emerged seemingly from thin air, turning a short play-action catch into a convincing 31-yard score. Sept. 28, 2025’s head-to-head against the Carolina Panthers went flawlessly for New England, as they enjoyed a 42-13 win; steady as always, Henry helped the cause through a two-catch, 39-yard, one-score effort.
