The New England Patriots are officially back in elite form, and this weekend’s 27–14 victory over the New York Jets proves it. With their eighth straight win, the Pats have matched their longest streak since the Tom Brady era—last achieved in the 2019 season.
And the star of the show?
Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson, who delivered a jaw-dropping, three-touchdown performance that had Gillette Stadium buzzing.
Henderson wasted no time announcing himself as the future of the Patriots offense. He scored:
A 7-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter
Another 7-yard rushing touchdown just minutes later
A receiving touchdown from quarterback Drake Maye in the third quarter
Three TDs. One game. One statement.
Quarterback Drake Maye—who threw for 281 yards and went 25-of-34—couldn’t hide his excitement about the young star:
“He wants to be great, and this was a big moment for him.”
If Patriots fans were looking for signs of a new offensive identity, Henderson just delivered it on a silver platter.
The Jets struck first with Justin Fields running in a 5-yard score on their opening drive, momentarily silencing the Foxborough faithful.
But once the Patriots hit their stride, the game flipped:
Back-to-back Henderson touchdowns put New England ahead
A smooth Maye-to-Henderson connection extended the lead to 21–7
A field goal pair from Andy Borregales sealed the win in the fourth quarter
Even when Fields connected with John Metchie to close the gap late in the third quarter, the Patriots never looked rattled.
At 9–2, New England now sits comfortably atop the AFC East.
Meanwhile, the Jets, now 2–8, find themselves struggling at the bottom of the division.
This win is more than just a number—it’s a signal.
The Patriots haven’t looked this dominant since the twilight of the Brady dynasty, and with Maye, Henderson, and a rejuvenated roster, the new era appears brighter than ever.
A team resurgence like this isn’t just a sports headline—it’s a sports market mover.
