On the offensive side, TreVeyon Henderson stole the show for New England, racking up an impressive 183 rushing yards and finding the end zone multiple times. DJ Lagway of the Titans also had a standout performance, throwing for 294 yards and three touchdowns, while Nyck Harbor contributed with 107 receiving yards, making for an exciting aerial attack.
