New England Equal Longest Victory Run From Brady Years with Triumph Against Jets
First-year player TreVeyon Henderson has scored five TDs this season
New England equaled their top unbeaten stretch since the Brady period as they defeated AFC East opponents the Jets by 13 points in the NFL
First-year standout TreVeyon Henderson led the way with three touchdowns as the Patriots secured an eighth straight win for the initial occasion since star signal-caller Tom Brady's final season with the team in 2019
Quarterback Maye accumulated 281 yards and a score, completing 25 passes from 34 throws
The triumph bolsters the New England's advantage at the top of the division as they improved to a 9-2 record, with the New York at the foot after falling to two wins and eight losses
The opposing team had taken the lead at their home field with QB Justin Fields running in a five-yard touchdown to cap the New York's first possession
But the Patriots fought back in the second quarter as Henderson rushed for two seven-yard TDs before the ball carrier caught a pass from Maye at the rear of the end zone midway through the third period to push the score to 21 to 7
"That was a key occasion for him delivering, and it's been fantastic for him to keep earning playing time," the quarterback commented on Henderson. "He desires to be great."
Justin Fields connected with Metchie toward the end of the third period to close the gap for the visitors but Borregales converted a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter as the home side closed out the victory
