New England Equal Longest Winning Streak From Tom Brady Years with Triumph Against Jets

The New England Patriots equaled their best victory streak since the Tom Brady era as they beat AFC East rivals the New York Jets 27-14 in professional football

First-year standout Henderson led the way with three scores as the New England squad secured an eighth consecutive victory for the initial occasion since legendary quarterback Tom Brady's last year with the franchise in the 2019 season

QB Maye passed for 281 yards and a score, connecting on 25 of 34 passes

The triumph increases the Patriots advantage at the top of the AFC East as they moved to nine victories against two losses, with the New York at the foot after slipping to a 2-8 mark

The Jets had scored first at their home field with quarterback Justin Fields rushing for a short rushing score to cap the Jets' first possession

But the New England fought back in the second quarter as Henderson scored two seven-yard touchdowns before the running back hauled in a throw from Maye at the back of the end zone in the middle of the third period to extend the lead to 21 to 7

"That was a big time for him stepping up, and it's been fantastic for him to keep gaining experience," Maye commented on Henderson. "He desires to be outstanding."

Fields threw to John Metchie late in the third quarter to narrow the deficit for the visitors but Borregales booted a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter as the Patriots wrapped up the triumph
