But the New England responded in the second period as the rookie scored two short rushing scores before the ball carrier caught a pass from Maye at the back of the end zone midway through the third period to extend the lead to 21 to 7
"It was a key occasion for him delivering, and it's been fantastic for him to keep gaining experience," Maye commented on Henderson. "He desires to be great."
Fields connected with John Metchie late in the third period to narrow the deficit for the Jets but Borregales booted a two field goals in the fourth quarter as the Patriots closed out the win
