For the first time with a quarterback not named Tom Brady, the Patriots (9-2) have won eight straight games. And they seem to have another star quarterback -- and an emerging sidekick -- on their hands. Drake Maye played another strong game, TreVeyon Henderson scored three touchdowns, and New England cruised past the Jets, 27-14.

The New England Patriots extended their win streak to eight games on the back of a three-touchdown night from rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson. Quarterback Drake Maye continued his MVP campaign, avoiding the New York Jets pass rush and delivering darts throughout the night. The Patriots defense forced a fumble to seal the game in the final minutes.

The second-round rookie out of Ohio State has fulfilled expectations with Rhamondre Stevenson out, breaking free for two long touchdown runs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and making his presence felt Thursday night with three touchdowns against the New York Jets.

The front office absolutely nailed its defensive line retooling. K’Lavon Chaisson, a reclamation project from the Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders, has 6.5 sacks. Longtime Tennessee Titans linebacker Harold Landry III is at 5.5 sacks, and former Philadelphia Eagle Milton Williams is stuffing the middle at an All-Pro level.
