Patriots Equal Best Winning Streak From Brady Years with Triumph Over Jets
Rookie TreVeyon Henderson has tallied five scores in the present year
The New England Patriots equaled their top unbeaten stretch since the Brady era as they beat division opponents the New York Jets 27-14 in the NFL
First-year standout TreVeyon Henderson shone brightly with three scores as the New England squad notched an eight-game winning streak for the initial occasion since star signal-caller Tom Brady's closing campaign with the team in 2019
Signal-caller Maye threw for 281 passing yards and a TD, completing 25 of 34 passes
The triumph bolsters the New England's advantage at the top of the AFC East as they improved to nine victories against two losses, with the Jets at the foot after falling to two victories and eight defeats
The Jets had taken the lead at Gillette Stadium with QB Justin Fields running in a short rushing score to conclude the New York's initial series
But the home team fought back in the second period as Henderson rushed for two seven-yard touchdowns before the running back hauled in a throw from Maye at the rear of the end zone midway through the third period to push the score to 21-7
"It was a key occasion for him delivering, and it's been great for him to keep earning playing time," Maye commented on Henderson. "He aims to be great."
Justin Fields found John Metchie in the latter part of the third quarter to reduce the lead for the Jets but Andy Borregales converted a two kicks in the fourth quarter as the Patriots sealed the triumph
