Patriots Match Best Winning Streak Since Brady Era with Jets Victory
The New England Patriots have made a statement in the 2025 NFL season by equaling their longest winning streak since the days of Tom Brady. On Thursday night at Gillette Stadium, the Patriots defeated their AFC East rivals, the New York Jets, 27-14, marking their eighth consecutive win—a milestone last achieved in 2019, Brady’s final season with the team.
Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson was the star of the night, scoring three touchdowns and showing a poise beyond his years. Henderson opened the scoring for the Patriots with two seven-yard rushing touchdowns in the second quarter and later caught a six-yard pass from quarterback Drake Maye in the third quarter to extend the lead. Henderson’s performance drew praise from Maye, who said, "It was a big time for him stepping up, and it's been great for him to keep getting these reps. He wants to be great."

The Jets initially took the lead as quarterback Justin Fields ran in a five-yard touchdown on the opening drive. However, the Patriots responded quickly, with Henderson taking control and helping the team dominate through the middle quarters. Fields later connected with John Metchie in the third quarter to narrow the gap, but the Patriots’ momentum proved too strong to overcome.
Maye played a crucial role, completing 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards and a touchdown, orchestrating the Patriots’ offense with efficiency and poise. Andy Borregales added two fourth-quarter field goals, ensuring the Patriots maintained their comfortable lead and closed out the game.
With this victory, the Patriots improved to nine wins and only two losses, solidifying their position at the top of the AFC East, while the Jets continue to struggle at the bottom with just two wins and eight defeats. The win has been celebrated as a key moment in New England’s season, showing that the team’s post-Brady era identity is being forged with a mix of experienced leadership and emerging young talent.
This victory also highlights the Patriots’ ability to perform in high-pressure rivalry games, with Henderson and Maye demonstrating that the future of the team is in capable hands. Fans and analysts alike are taking note of this resurgence, as the team now sets its sights on continuing this impressive run through the remainder of the season.
The Patriots’ performance against the Jets was not just a win—it was a statement that the legacy of competitive excellence in New England is very much alive.
