New England Match Longest Victory Run From Tom Brady Years with Triumph Over Jets
Rookie TreVeyon Henderson has scored five TDs in the present year
New England matched their longest winning run since the Tom Brady era as they overcame division opponents the Jets by 13 points in the NFL
Rookie TreVeyon Henderson led the way with three TDs as the Patriots claimed an eighth straight win for the initial occasion since legendary quarterback Brady's closing campaign with the team in the 2019 season
QB Drake Maye accumulated 281 passing yards and a touchdown, completing 25 out of 34 attempts
Victory bolsters the New England's advantage at the top of the AFC East as they moved to nine victories against two losses, with the Jets bottom after falling to two victories and eight defeats
The Jets had scored first at their home field with QB Fields running in a short rushing score to finish the Jets' initial series
But the home team answered in the second quarter as the rookie ran in two short rushing scores before the running back grabbed a reception from Maye at the back of the end zone midway through the third period to extend the lead to 21-7
"That was a crucial moment for him delivering, and it's been great for him to keep earning playing time," Maye commented on the rookie. "He desires to be excellent."
Fields connected with John Metchie toward the end of the third quarter to reduce the lead for the visitors but Borregales kicked a pair of field goals in the final period as the Patriots closed out the triumph
