New England extended its long winning streak to eight games, improving to 9-2 on the season. Meanwhile, the Jets’ brief winning streak, after starting the season 0-7, has come to an end.
Heading into this game, the Patriots were expected to dominate the Jets. While the scoreboard didn’t say it in the end, their rookie running back certainly provided the fireworks.

TreVeyon Henderson, who had a big game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week with 147 rushing yards and two long touchdown runs, added three more touchdowns to his freshman stat line in this win.
He was the only Patriots player to find the end zone, starting with the team’s 13-play, 69-yard drive that ended with their entire offensive line pushing him over the goal line to tie the game at seven apiece.
On the Patriots’ next drive, Henderson ran in from seven yards out to give the Patriots a 14-7 lead to end the first half.
PATRIOTS RECEIVE PRAISE WITH STORMY UNIFORM DEBUT AGAINST JETS
New England began to pull away after quarterback Drake Maye, an MVP contender who had another strong performance, had completions to set up an eventual touchdown pass to Henderson, who found himself wide open in the end zone.
Henderson finished the game with 62 rushing yards on 19 carries, while hauling in five receptions for 31 yards.
Meanwhile, Justin Fields and the Jets offense struggled in another outing despite a great opening 14-play drive that ended with the quarterback rushing.

Fields was coming off a difficult game against the Cleveland Browns, although the Jets were able to win thanks to two special teams touchdowns. He passed for just 54 yards with a quarterback rating of 60.4.
Fields was 15 of 26 for 116 yards in this game with a touchdown pass on a broken play to John Metchie III that made the score 21-14 in the third quarter. But there were more negative moments than positive ones for the Jets, including a lost fumble on a low snap in the fourth quarter while the Jets trailed by just one touchdown.
The Patriots were able to run out the fourth quarter and give the home crowd what they expected in Mike Vrabel’s first year as head coach: a winning season.
There’s still work to do, but nine wins puts the Patriots above .500.

Looking further into the scoreboard, Maye was an efficient 25-of-34 for 281 yards with his only touchdown pass to Henderson. Stefon Diggs also led the way with nine receptions for a game-high 105 yards, while Mack Hollins and Hunter Henry caught four passes.
For the Jets, Metchie was the leading receiver with 45 yards on three grabs, while Breece Hall had 58 rushing yards on 14 carries. Fields had 67 yards on 11 carries.
