The Patriots\u2019 3-0 record in AFC East games is their best start in the division since 2019 (5-0).<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Pending this weekend\u2019s games, first-year coach Mike Vrabel\u2019s Patriots have the best record in the NFL; Indianapolis and Denver are 8-2. And New England will have a winning season for the first time since 2021, when they last made the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">With Rhamondre Stevenson out for the third straight game with a toe injury, Henderson logged a career-high 19 rushing attempts, totaling 62 yards. His two TD runs matched his total from Sunday\u2019s win over Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Maye was solid, completing 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards and a TD. Stefon Diggs had nine catches for 105 yards, his third 100-yard game of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The Patriots thrived in damp and chilly conditions with temperatures that dipped into the high 30s fahrenheit, compiling 336 total yards while holding the Jets to 245.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">New York\u2019s Justin Fields threw a touchdown pass to John Metchie III but was otherwise ineffective through the air, going 15 of 26 for 116 yards. He was the Jets\u2019 leading rusher with 67 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Fields\u2019 top receiver, Garrett Wilson, was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury earlier Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Trailing 27-14 with just over two minutes to play, the Jets (2-8) had a fourth-and-four on the New England 15, but Fields\u2019 pass to tight end Jeremy Ruckert was broken up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The Jets won the pregame coin toss and took the ball, marching 72 yards over 14 plays and taking a 7-0 lead on Fields\u2019 five-yard TD rush. It was the Jets\u2019 first opening-drive TD since Week 16 of last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The Patriots responded with a 69-yard drive and a seven-yard touchdown run by Henderson. The 13-play drive included a fourth-down pass from Maye to DeMario Douglas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">After a New York punt, Henderson ran for his second TD, also from seven yards out. He dragged multiple defenders into the end zone to put New England in front 14-7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Penalties, ill-timed mistakes and poor production out of the passing game again stymied the Jets. They had a chance to get the ball back late in the first-half, but had a sack nullified by an illegal contact call. On the next play, cornerback Qwan\u2019tez Stiggers collided with safety Tony Adams, knocking a would-be interception from his hands. Fields completed just four passes for 23 yards in the first-half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rookie TreVeyon Henderson rushed for two touchdowns and made a TD catch to help Drake Maye and the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-281960","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
