The New England Patriots matched their longest winning run from the Brady era as they defeated AFC East opponents the New York Jets by 13 points in professional football

Rookie TreVeyon Henderson led the way with three touchdowns as the New England squad secured an eighth consecutive victory for the initial occasion since star signal-caller Tom Brady's final season with the franchise in the 2019 season

Quarterback Drake Maye accumulated 281 yards and a touchdown, connecting on 25 out of 34 attempts

The triumph extends the New England's advantage at the top of the division as they improved to nine wins and two defeats, with the Jets at the foot after dropping to two victories and eight defeats

The visitors had gone in front at Gillette Stadium with quarterback Fields rushing for a five-yard TD to conclude the Jets' opening drive

But the home team fought back in the second quarter as the rookie ran in two seven-yard TDs before the ball carrier caught a pass from Drake Maye at the rear of the end zone halfway into the third quarter to push the score to 21-7

"It was a crucial moment for him delivering, and it's been excellent for him to keep gaining experience," the quarterback commented on the rookie. "He wants to be great."

Justin Fields found John Metchie late in the third period to narrow the deficit for the Jets but Andy Borregales booted a two kicks in the final period as the Patriots wrapped up the win
