New England Match Longest Winning Streak From Brady Years with Win Against New York Jets

New England tied their top unbeaten stretch from the Tom Brady period as they overcame division rivals the New York Jets by 13 points in professional football

Signal-caller Maye accumulated 281 passing yards and a touchdown, connecting on 25 of 34 passes
The triumph bolsters the New England's lead at the top of the division as they advanced to a 9-2 record, with the New York at the foot after falling to a 2-8 mark
The opposing team had scored first at their home field with QB Fields running in a five-yard touchdown to conclude the New York's opening drive
But the New England fought back in the second period as the rookie rushed for two seven-yard touchdowns before the running back grabbed a reception from Maye at the rear of the end zone in the middle of the third period to make it 21-7
"That was a key occasion for him delivering, and it's been excellent for him to keep gaining experience," Maye commented on the rookie. "He wants to be outstanding."
Fields found Metchie toward the end of the third period to narrow the deficit for the visitors but Andy Borregales converted a two field goals in the fourth quarter as the Patriots wrapped up the triumph
