The New England Patriots have a chance to snag the AFC East from the Buffalo Bills but they have to beat their hated foe first. It was looking a bit dicey in the fourth quarter after the Bills managed to take the lead after trailing by double digits but TreVeyon Henderson helped put the Patriots back up top (at least for a little bit).
On the Patriots' first play after Buffalo took the lead, Henderson took the handoff, looked to have run right into a wall but redirected and ran 65 yards for the touchdown. Even more impressive on that play was quarterback Drake Maye throwing the block that helped pave the way for Henderson to barrel into the end zone. J.J. Watt was in the booth for the game and had one hell of a call on the play.
"Drake Maye leading the way! What a block! What wheels!" Watt exclaimed on the broadcast. "If you want a reason to believe in your team, if you want a reason to believe in your quarterback, if you want to follow somebody into battle, you follow a guy who's gonna sprint 50 yards down the field!"

J.J. Watt's call of Henderson TD showed why Pats fans love Drake Maye so much
Patriots fans already loved Maye for what he's been able to do for this team but Watt explained why he's so beloved to anyone who might not have been in the know. He hustled down the field and did everything he could to help his running back get the touchdown. Not a lot of quarterbacks are going to sprint down the field and put a block on a defender but Maye isn't like other quarterbacks.
Hopefully the Patriots can pull this win off and officially pry the division away from the Bills. Having a home game at Gillette Stadium would be a major advantage for this team and it'd be nice to see a little more magic from Maye and Henderson.
