Patriots Equal Longest Winning Streak From Tom Brady Years with Triumph Over New York Jets

The New England Patriots matched their longest winning run since the Tom Brady period as they overcame division rivals the Jets by 13 points in the NFL

Rookie Henderson was the standout with three scores as the New England squad notched an eight-game winning streak for the initial occasion since iconic QB Brady's closing campaign with the team in 2019

Quarterback Maye passed for 281 passing yards and a score, completing 25 out of 34 attempts

The win increases the Patriots advantage at the summit of the AFC East as they moved to nine wins and two defeats, with the New York bottom after dropping to two wins and eight losses

The Jets had taken the lead at Foxborough with QB Fields rushing for a five-yard touchdown to conclude the New York's first possession

But the home team answered in the second period as the rookie rushed for two short rushing scores before the ball carrier caught a pass from Maye at the rear of the endzone halfway into the third period to make it 21-7

"That was a big time for him delivering, and it's been great for him to keep getting these reps," Maye commented on Henderson. "He wants to be great."

Justin Fields found John Metchie late in the third quarter to close the gap for the Jets but Borregales booted a two kicks in the final period as the Patriots closed out the victory
