FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Bailey Zappe has stepped into the New England Patriots' starting quarterback role and is rising to the occasion with clutch throws. One them came in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, when he delivered an accurate strike to tight end Hunter Henry in the end zone for a 16-yard touchdown on fourth down.

The score came on fourth-and-2 with the Patriots in a run-based formation with three tight ends on the field -- one of whom was aligned in a lead-blocking fullback role.
