Patriots Equal Best Winning Streak From Tom Brady Years with Win Against Jets

Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson in action — Rookie TreVeyon Henderson has recorded five TDs during the current campaign

The New England Patriots matched their best victory streak from the Brady period as they defeated AFC East opponents the New York Jets by 13 points in professional football

First-year standout Henderson shone brightly with three scores as the Patriots claimed an eight-game winning streak for the initial occasion since iconic QB Brady's closing campaign with the franchise in the 2019 season

Signal-caller Drake Maye threw for 281 passing yards and a TD, completing 25 out of 34 attempts

Victory extends the New England's lead at the summit of the division as they advanced to nine wins and two defeats, with the Jets bottom after slipping to two wins and eight losses

The opposing team had gone in front at their home field with quarterback Fields running in a five-yard TD to finish the Jets' initial series

But the Patriots answered in the second quarter as Henderson rushed for two short rushing scores before the ball carrier grabbed a reception from Drake Maye at the rear of the endzone in the middle of the third quarter to extend the lead to 21 to 7

"It was a key occasion for him rising to the challenge, and it's been great for him to keep getting these reps," Maye commented on the rookie. "He wants to be outstanding."

Justin Fields threw to Metchie in the latter part of the third quarter to close the gap for the Jets but Andy Borregales kicked a two field goals in the final period as the home side sealed the win
