New England Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson began his NFL career in style Friday with an electric play on the first play of the night against the Washington Commanders. Henderson returned the opening kickoff 100 yards on his first NFL touch to give New England an early 7-0 lead.

With his heels on his own goal line, Henderson caught Matt Gay’s kick and burst up the left side of the return unit. He didn’t encounter any resistance until the 35-yard line, when he simply cut to his right and made cornerback Noah Igbinoghene flail helplessly while trying to slow him down.
