Who covered/shut down Hunter Henry?

[QB12]

Henry is a dynamic ‘move’ TE, that Rivers always looks for when his primary receiver is covered. However I never heard Henry’s name mentioned. Did he even play? Who shut him down?

Looked to be a Chung/McCourty production to me. Taking turns.

Kudos to whoever it was.

Coming into the game, I was watching for what both Henry and Tyrell Williams might be able to do. Both had been averaging 3 catches on 4+ targets for 43 yards a game.

Henry went 2 for 2 for 11 yards, and Williams went 1 for 6 for 24 yards.

Keenan Allen was held to half his usual targets (5 vs. 10) and Gordon was held to 2 tgts compared to his usual 6.

Basically, the Pats pass-D more or less shut down Rivers' top four favorite targets, leaving him with Benjamin and Gates.

Smoke and mirrors, no way the Pats could basically shut down the 6th (20 pts), 7th (13 pts), 8th (14 pts) and 9th (7 pts) ranked offenses in the NFL like that. Must be a mistake.

Sarcasm aside, people may soon realize, the D is not bad. Not pretty, but not bad.

Oh yea, and the Pats have a hack of an old man as QB who leads the top ranked offense in the NFL which averages of 400 yards/game and is on track for 5,000 yards.

This team is an embarrassment to all the Pats faithful.
