Hunter Henry has made a bit of a habit of this.
For whatever reason, the New England Patriots‘ tight end has some slow first halves.
That was the case Sunday against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.
The Patriots will likely need better from him after halftime. They’re only up 9-7 at the break.

Is Hunter Henry playing today?
Yes, Hunter Henry is active and playing on Sunday for the Pats.
He just didn’t have any first-half catches.
The Patriots did get the ball to their other tight end, Austin Hooper, for a pair of completions early.
They even completed a pass to Mack Hollins, along with more regular receivers Pop Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Stefon Diggs.
Drake Maye did throw one bad interception to stifle more chances to move the ball.
The Pats are facing a Browns team that uses a lot of man-to-man coverage, and it seems they’ve decided to let their wideouts win against that. So far, it has worked decently, but Henry might be needed at some point to deliver in the second half.
