Some non-quarterbacks are getting into the act with touchdown passes early in Week 7.
NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry has thrown a 5-yard scoring pass to tight end MyCole Pruitt out of the wildcat for Tennessee against Kansas City.
New England's Kendrick Bourne has a 25-yard TD pass to fellow receiver Nelson Agholor after catching a backward pass from Mac Jones and faking a run against the New York Jets. Both TDs came on the opening possessions.
.@PATRIOTS DOUBLE PASS.

It was the first career pass for Bourne, who had a go-ahead 75-yard touchdown catch late in regulation last week against Dallas before the Patriots lost in overtime.
It wasn't Henry's first TD pass. The two-time defending rushing champ threw on in a divisional playoff win over Baltimore during the 2019 season.
It's the fourth time since 2018 with multiple touchdown passes from non-quarterbacks in the same week.
