First-year player TreVeyon Henderson has scored five touchdowns during the current campaign

The New England Patriots matched their top unbeaten stretch from the Brady era as they defeated AFC East rivals the Jets by 13 points in the NFL

First-year standout Henderson was the standout with three touchdowns as the Patriots notched an eight-game winning streak for the first time since legendary quarterback Tom Brady's final season with the franchise in the 2019 season

Quarterback Drake Maye threw for 281 yards and a score, connecting on 25 out of 34 attempts

Victory increases the New England's advantage at the top of the division as they moved to a 9-2 record, with the New York bottom after slipping to two wins and eight losses

The Jets had scored first at Gillette Stadium with quarterback Fields scoring a five-yard touchdown to finish the New York's initial series

But the Patriots answered in the second period as Henderson ran in two seven-yard TDs before the running back grabbed a reception from Drake Maye at the rear of the endzone halfway into the third period to extend the lead to 21 to 7

"That was a big time for him stepping up, and it's been excellent for him to keep earning playing time," the quarterback commented on the rookie. "He wants to be excellent."

Fields found John Metchie toward the end of the third period to close the gap for the visitors but Borregales kicked a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter as the Patriots wrapped up the victory
