The New England Patriots equaled their top unbeaten stretch since the Brady period as they beat division opponents the Jets 27-14 in professional football
First-year standout TreVeyon Henderson led the way with three scores as the New England squad secured an eighth straight win for the initial occasion since legendary quarterback Brady's last year with the franchise in the 2019 season

The visitors had taken the lead at Gillette Stadium with quarterback Justin Fields running in a five-yard TD to conclude the New York's opening drive
But the home team answered in the second period as Henderson ran in two seven-yard TDs before the ball carrier grabbed a reception from Drake Maye at the rear of the end zone halfway into the third period to make it 21 to 7
"It was a crucial moment for him rising to the challenge, and it's been fantastic for him to keep gaining experience," the quarterback said of Henderson. "He wants to be outstanding."
Fields connected with Metchie late in the third period to close the gap for the visitors but Borregales converted a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter as the home side wrapped up the victory
