BEST OF WEEK 12
Hunter Henry, TE, New England Patriots
Henry registered seven receptions for a single-game career high and game-high 115 yards and a touchdown during the Patriots’ thrilling 26-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The nine-year NFL veteran found the end zone by hauling in a 28-yard pass from quarterback Drake May with 9:36 on the clock during the second quarter of the victory. The performance marked his third 100+ yard performance of his professional career and his second as a Patriot. Henry edged out his previous career high of 109 receiving yards, which he set against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 15, 2024. It was just the 13th 100-yard receiving game by a tight end in the NFL this season.
Jake Bates, K, Detroit Lions
Bates scored 10 of the Lions’ 34 points in a 34-27 win over the New York Giants on Sunday. Bates made both of his field goal attempts from 37 and 59 yards while connecting on all four extra-point attempts. His 59-yard field goal with just 27 seconds left in regulation tied the game at 27 to force overtime. The 59-yarder from Bates tied the Lions franchise record and marked his fourth field goal of 58+ yards, which tied with Matt Prater for the most in franchise history.
