Mac Jones and the Patriots‘ offense did just enough to beat a staunch Steelers defense 17-14 on Sunday.
Still, one glaring statistic stood out in the box score: Both tight ends, Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry, went without a catch. Smith was targeted just three times, while Henry was targeted once.
Neither Smith nor Henry was heavily targeted in Week 1 — Smith caught three passes for 33 yards, and Henry pulled down two for 20. Both Henry and Jones, however, said in their radio appearances Monday on WEEI that they weren’t concerned by the lack of looks.
