Patriots Match Longest Winning Streak Since Brady Era with Triumph Against Jets

Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson in action

First-year player TreVeyon Henderson has scored five scores this season

The New England Patriots tied their top unbeaten stretch since the Brady period as they defeated AFC East opponents the New York Jets by 13 points in professional football

First-year standout TreVeyon Henderson was the standout with three TDs as the New England squad claimed an eight-game winning streak for the initial occasion since star signal-caller Tom Brady's final season with the franchise in 2019

QB Maye threw for 281 passing yards and a TD, completing 25 passes from 34 throws

The triumph increases the Patriots lead at the summit of the division as they moved to a 9-2 record, with the Jets at the foot after slipping to two victories and eight defeats

The Jets had scored first at Foxborough with QB Justin Fields running in a short rushing score to finish the Jets' first possession

But the Patriots answered in the second period as Henderson rushed for two short rushing scores before the ball carrier hauled in a throw from Maye at the back of the end zone halfway into the third period to make it 21-7

"That was a key occasion for him stepping up, and it's been excellent for him to keep earning playing time," Maye commented on Henderson. "He wants to be outstanding."

Fields connected with John Metchie late in the third period to close the gap for the visitors but Borregales converted a pair of field goals in the final period as the Patriots closed out the win
