The full read

Hunter Henry turned four targets into three of New England's biggest first-half plays against the Raiders: 3 catches, 44 yards, 1 touchdown, +6.6 expected points added (EPA). EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.

The defining catch came at 7-7 with 2:34 left in the first quarter. A snap after a third-down throw to him fell incomplete, Drake Maye went back to Henry on fourth and 3 at the Las Vegas 8, and he caught it short over the middle and reached the 1: +3.5 EPA and +7.0 points of win probability. Rhamondre Stevenson's touchdown run made it 14-7.

He closed the half the same way: up 14-7 with 38 seconds left, he caught a short pass on second and 13 and ran 26 yards to the Las Vegas 11. On the next snap he caught an 11-yard touchdown over the middle for 21-7.

It was his first touchdown of the season. Through Week 4 he had 12 catches on 15 targets for 133 yards and +0.1 EPA.
