Since taking over as the New England Patriots' starting quarterback in Week 13, Bailey Zappe has found comfort in throwing to eight-year veteran tight end Hunter Henry.
The Patriots offense moved slowly in a 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers as the players acclimated to playing under their new quarterback. With DeVante Parker leading the team in targets with nine, Zappe still targeted Henry four times while the rest of the team shared the other nine.
Things would only improve for the Zappe-Henry connection. In New England's 21-18 upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, the Patriots focused on moving up the field by utilizing Ezekiel Elliott in the check-down game, targeting the back eight times.
