First-year player Henderson has tallied five TDs during the current campaign

The New England Patriots matched their longest winning run from the Brady period as they defeated division rivals the Jets by 13 points in professional football

Rookie TreVeyon Henderson shone brightly with three TDs as the New England squad claimed an eighth consecutive victory for the initial occasion since star signal-caller Tom Brady's final season with the team in the 2019 season

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

Victory extends the Patriots lead at the top of the AFC East as they improved to nine victories against two losses, with the Jets at the foot after dropping to two wins and eight losses

The visitors had scored first at Foxborough with quarterback Justin Fields running in a five-yard touchdown to finish the New York's opening drive

But the Patriots responded in the second period as the rookie scored two short rushing scores before the ball carrier caught a pass from Drake Maye at the rear of the end zone halfway into the third quarter to extend the lead to 21 to 7

"It was a key occasion for him rising to the challenge, and it's been excellent for him to keep gaining experience," the quarterback commented on Henderson. "He desires to be great."

Justin Fields connected with John Metchie toward the end of the third period to close the gap for the visitors but Andy Borregales converted a two field goals in the final period as the Patriots closed out the triumph
