New England Match Best Victory Run Since Brady Years with Win Against Jets
Rookie TreVeyon Henderson has recorded five touchdowns this season
New England equaled their best victory streak since the Brady period as they defeated AFC East rivals the Jets 27-14 in professional football
Rookie TreVeyon Henderson led the way with three scores as the New England squad claimed an eighth consecutive victory for the initial occasion since legendary quarterback Tom Brady's last year with the franchise in 2019
QB Drake Maye threw for 281 passing yards and a touchdown, completing 25 passes from 34 throws
The triumph bolsters the New England's lead at the summit of the division as they advanced to nine victories against two losses, with the New York bottom after falling to two victories and eight defeats
The opposing team had taken the lead at Foxborough with QB Fields rushing for a short rushing score to finish the Jets' opening drive
But the Patriots fought back in the second period as the rookie rushed for two short rushing scores before the running back hauled in a throw from Drake Maye at the rear of the endzone in the middle of the third quarter to make it 21 to 7
"It was a crucial moment for him delivering, and it's been fantastic for him to keep gaining experience," the quarterback said of Henderson. "He desires to be excellent."
Fields connected with Metchie late in the third quarter to reduce the lead for the visitors but Borregales converted a pair of field goals in the final period as the Patriots closed out the triumph
