Maye Leads Patriots to 27-14 Win Over Jets

Foxborough, Massachusetts—Quarterback Drake Maye led the New England Patriots to a 27-14 victory over the New York Jets on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium, extending the team's winning streak to eight games and improving their record to 9-2 atop the AFC East standings.

Maye completed 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards and one touchdown, starting the game by connecting on his first 11 attempts without an incompletion until late in the first half. He avoided turnovers and earned a passing grade above 80.0 from Pro Football Focus for the fourth time this season, highlighting his efficiency with one big-time throw. The performance drew repeated "MVP" chants from the home crowd, which began during player introductions and continued through the victory formation. Maye, in his second NFL season at age 23, deflected the praise in his postgame remarks, crediting rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson. "Those may have been for TreVeyon Henderson tonight," Maye said with a smile. "He scored three touchdowns." Henderson rushed for 93 yards from scrimmage and found the end zone three times, stepping up in place of the injured Rhamondre Stevenson.
