The win bolsters the Patriots advantage at the top of the division as they moved to a 9-2 record, with the New York at the foot after falling to two wins and eight losses
The visitors had scored first at Gillette Stadium with QB Justin Fields rushing for a short rushing score to finish the Jets' initial series
But the home team fought back in the second quarter as the rookie rushed for two seven-yard TDs before the running back grabbed a reception from Maye at the back of the end zone midway through the third quarter to push the score to 21-7
"It was a key occasion for him rising to the challenge, and it's been great for him to keep earning playing time," the quarterback commented on Henderson. "He desires to be outstanding."
Fields found John Metchie in the latter part of the third period to close the gap for the visitors but Andy Borregales converted a two field goals in the final period as the Patriots wrapped up the triumph
