Hoomanawanui is taking nothing for granted despite his early success.

His eye-popping catch was a one-handed grab on the final play of the first quarter. That 23-yard reception set up the first of two field goals by Josh Brown.

Fells didn’t play against the Patriots & did not practice Sunday because of hyperextended knee.
“No query. He’s jumped out there, I think that’s pretty obvious,” Spagnuolo said. “He made a great catch with that one hand. I thought the catch & getting in to the finish zone for the first touchdown was an excellent play, too. they made some blocks as a fullback. Mike’s finished some nice things.
