Patriots Make It Eight Straight as Maye Shines and Henderson Hits Three vs. Jets

The win showcased Drake Maye’s rising MVP case against a Jets defense still without a takeaway through 10 games.

Overview

  • New England beat New York 27-14 on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium to move to 9-2 and remain atop the AFC East.
  • Drake Maye went 25-of-34 for 281 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers as fans chanted “M-V-P” throughout the game.
  • Rookie TreVeyon Henderson scored three times (two rushing, one receiving) and totaled 93 scrimmage yards, becoming the first Patriots rookie since Rob Gronkowski to record three TDs in a game.
  • The Jets fell to 2-8 as penalties and coverage breakdowns mounted; Justin Fields finished 15-of-26 for 116 yards with a passing TD, ran for a score, and fumbled a low snap that set up a Patriots field goal.
  • New York’s struggles deepened with zero takeaways through 10 games, the fewest in the Super Bowl era, and with receiver Garrett Wilson placed on injured reserve earlier in the day.
