New England Match Best Victory Run Since Tom Brady Era with Win Against Jets

Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson in action — Rookie Henderson has tallied five scores in the present year

New England equaled their top unbeaten stretch from the Tom Brady era as they defeated AFC East rivals the New York Jets by 13 points in the NFL

Rookie Henderson led the way with three TDs as the Patriots notched an eight-game winning streak for the initial occasion since star signal-caller Brady's last year with the franchise in the 2019 season

QB Drake Maye passed for 281 passing yards and a TD, connecting on 25 passes from 34 throws

Victory extends the Patriots lead at the summit of the division as they moved to nine wins and two defeats, with the Jets bottom after slipping to two victories and eight defeats

The visitors had gone in front at Foxborough with QB Justin Fields rushing for a five-yard touchdown to cap the Jets' initial series

But the New England responded in the second quarter as Henderson scored two seven-yard TDs before the running back grabbed a reception from Maye at the rear of the end zone midway through the third quarter to extend the lead to 21-7

"That was a key occasion for him delivering, and it's been great for him to keep earning playing time," the quarterback commented on Henderson. "He desires to be outstanding."

Justin Fields connected with Metchie late in the third period to close the gap for the Jets but Andy Borregales converted a two field goals in the fourth quarter as the home side sealed the win
