If Bailey Zappe and the Patriots offense plan on leaving Denver with a victory on Christmas Eve, they’re going to have to make good on their opportunities in the red zone against a Broncos team giving up an average of 25.1 points per game.
That task will become a bit easier for New England’s second-year QB if his top target within the 20-yard-line makes a return to the field on Sunday.
But after bearing the brunt of several low hits in Sunday’s home loss to the Chiefs, the odds aren’t looking good for tight end Hunter Henry getting cleared for New England’s upcoming game in Colorado.
