Nothing highlighted the New England Patriots‘ recent issues in finding true playmakers on offense more than seeing them try to get the ball to rookie receiver N’Keal Harry Saturday against the Tennessee Titans. Harry saw eight targets — three more than any other receiver on the team — but caught just two of them for 21 yards. He had one carry for seven yards in the game, bringing his total offensive output for the year to just 154 yards on 17 touches.
