Chris Hogan showed his versatility in helping the Patriots’ offense during the second quarter against the Titans in Saturday’s playoff game.
As running back Dion Lewis sprinted upfield, Hogan pounced on Titans linebacker Wesley Woodyard. Hogan’s block aided Lewis’ progress on a drive that culminated with a touchdown.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans were not happy that Hogan wasn’t penalized, as they asserted the play resembled a block dolled out by Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster during the regular season. The NFL handed Smith-Schuster a one-game suspension, though Hogan wasn’t penalized:
