Rookie TreVeyon Henderson rushed for two touchdowns and made a TD catch to help Drake Maye and the Patriots win their eighth straight game, 27-14 over the New York Jets on Thursday night.
The Patriots (9-2) matched their longest streak since Tom Brady’s final season with the team in 2019, when they won their 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, New England has the best record in the NFL; Indianapolis and Denver are 8-2. And the Patriots will have a winning season for the first time since 2021, when they last made the playoffs.
