Rookie TreVeyon Henderson rushed for two touchdowns and made a TD catch to help Drake Maye and the New England Patriots win their eighth straight game, 27-14 over the New York Jets on Thursday night.
New England (9-2) matched its longest streak since Tom Brady’s final season with the team in 2019, when it won its first eight. The Patriots’ 3-0 record in AFC East games is their best start in the division since 2019 (5-0).
Pending this weekend’s games, first-year coach Mike Vrabel’s Patriots have the best record in the NFL; Indianapolis and Denver are 8-2. And New England will have a winning season for the first time since 2021, when it last made the playoffs.
With Rhamondre Stevenson out for the third straight game with a toe injury, Henderson logged a career-high 19 rushing attempts, totaling 62 yards.
Maye was solid, completing 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards and a TD. Stefon Diggs had nine catches for 105 yards, his third 100-yard game of the season.
