Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson in action

First-year player TreVeyon Henderson has tallied five touchdowns in the present year

New England equaled their best victory streak since the Brady era as they overcame AFC East opponents the New York Jets by 13 points in the NFL

Rookie Henderson led the way with three TDs as the Patriots secured an eighth consecutive victory for the first time since star signal-caller Tom Brady's final season with the team in 2019

QB Maye threw for 281 yards and a TD, completing 25 of 34 passes

The win extends the New England's lead at the summit of the AFC East as they advanced to a 9-2 record, with the New York at the foot after slipping to a 2-8 mark

The Jets had gone in front at Foxborough with QB Justin Fields running in a five-yard touchdown to conclude the Jets' first possession

But the home team answered in the second quarter as the rookie ran in two seven-yard touchdowns before the running back caught a pass from Maye at the rear of the end zone in the middle of the third period to push the score to 21-7

"That was a crucial moment for him rising to the challenge, and it's been great for him to keep earning playing time," the quarterback said of the rookie. "He aims to be outstanding."

Fields connected with Metchie toward the end of the third quarter to narrow the deficit for the visitors but Borregales kicked a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter as the Patriots sealed the triumph
