TreVeyon Henderson helps power Patriots to best record in NFL after win over Jets
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has made the most of his opportunity, filling in for injured starter Rhamondre Stevenson, who has missed the past three games because of a toe injury. Henderson’s two touchdown runs and one receiving touchdown helped the Patriots to a 27-14 victory over the New York Jets on Thursday night, sparking a question on whether he might assume a larger role when Stevenson returns.
The Patriots improved to 9-2 with the win, the best record in the NFL, and won their eighth in a row.
Henderson became the second rookie in Patriots history to have multiple rushing touchdowns in consecutive games, joining Curtis Martin, who had a three-game streak and two-game streak in 1995.
Henderson also became the first rookie in Patriots history with five touchdowns in a two-game span. He is the third rookie in Patriots history with three touchdowns in a game (including playoffs), joining tight end Rob Gronkowski (2010) and running back Sony Michel (2018).
Henderson, the 38th pick out of Ohio State, has seen his playing time more than double during the past three weeks with Stevenson out. Henderson played 51 snaps in each of the two games leading up to Thursday night, and, once again, he played a majority of the snaps in the win over the Jets.
Here are the most important things to know from Thursday night for both teams:

What to make of the QB performance: Drake Maye settled into a rhythm early, completing his first 11 passes, the longest streak to start a game in his career. Maye, who was in complete command, was effective against the blitz, finishing the first half 5-of-5 for 41 yards and 3 first downs. Maye entered the game completing 69.1% of his passes against the blitz, ranking third in the NFL. He finished the game 25-of-34 for 281 yards and a touchdown. He was sacked only once.
Trend to watch: The Patriots’ defense gave up an opening-drive touchdown for the sixth time this season, tying for the most in the NFL. In practice, coach Mike Vrabel has had assistant coach Ben McAdoo put together an offensive script as if he were the opposing offensive coordinator, attempting to prepare the defense for opening drives in games. But the defense isn’t consistently producing the desired results.
Stat to know: The last time the Patriots won eight games in a row was 2019, when they opened the season 8-0. — Mike Reiss
Next game: at Cincinnati Bengals (1 p.m. ET, Nov. 23)

With a war chest of premium draft picks from blockbuster trades ahead of last week’s deadline, the Jets can find their quarterback of the future in 2026 or 2027. Or so they hope. In the meantime, they must endure seven more games of Justin Fields. Or Tyrod Taylor.
Does it matter?
Coach Aaron Glenn’s quarterback games, where he refuses each week to name his starter until game day, can’t camouflage the obvious: Week after week, the Jets’ passing attack is noncompetitive.
Playing without wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who was placed on injured reserve Thursday because of a knee injury, Fields passed for only 116 yards on 15-for-26 efficiency. He avoided his fifth game with fewer than 100 passing yards thanks to late completions in garbage time. You can’t win in the NFL with only three pass completions longer than 9 air yards, and the Patriots softened their coverage late in the game.
The Jets looked great on their opening possession, a run-heavy drive that covered 72 yards for a touchdown, but they hit a prolonged cold spell once the Patriots adjusted. The Jets needed Fields to produce via the air, and he didn’t, except for a 22-yard touchdown to John Metchie III late in the third quarter.
Now, Glenn has a QB decision: Is it time to bench Fields?
Trend to watch: It was a rough debut for wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. Acquired from the Indianapolis Colts in the Sauce Gardner trade, Mitchell dropped two passes. He had a step on Christian Gonzalez on a well-thrown deep ball but couldn’t hold on. The Jets’ passing attack isn’t good enough to overcome killer mistakes. Nevertheless, you will see a lot of Mitchell for the remainder of the season.
Biggest hole in the game plan: The Jets blitzed less than usual, putting a lot of pressure on the patchwork secondary. It wasn’t pretty, as Maye passed for 284 yards and a touchdown. The Jets miss Gardner. His replacement, rookie Azareye’h Thomas (concussion), didn’t play, forcing third-stringer Qwan’tez Stiggers into the lineup. Brandon Stephens (costly penalty, one TD allowed) and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (three penalties) both had rough nights.
Most surprising performance: Will McDonald IV, coming off a four-sack game, was held to no sacks and one quarterback pressure. He was dealing with a quad injury from last week.
Stat to know: Once again, the Jets failed to intercept a pass. That makes 10 straight games without an interception, and that ties the longest such streak in NFL history. The last team not to intercept an opponent’s pass in its first 10 games of a season was the 2017 Raiders. — Rich Cimini
Next game: at Baltimore Ravens (1 p.m. ET, Nov. 23)

Michigan’s Richard repeats as NCAA men’s all-around champion
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Michigan’s Fred Richard won his second straight all-around individual crown Saturday night, and Cooper Kim and Jun Iwai each won individual titles to lead Stanford to its sixth NCAA men’s gymnastics championship since 2019.
Richard took home silver in the floor and parallel bars as he ran away with his third all-around individual national championship with a score of 83.598. Nebraska’s Max Odden (78.698) was second, 0.432 ahead of third-place Kristian Grahovski of Ohio State.
Stanford had 329.825 points, second-place Oklahoma finished with 328.495 and Michigan — the defending national champion — was third with 324.857. Asher Hong (14.300) took silver and Nick Kuebler (14.166) bronze on the rings in the final rotation to seal it for the Cardinal. Asher Cohen finished with a 14.500 to become the first Nebraska gymnast to win the rings since Jim Hartung in 1982.
Stanford claimed the program’s 11th national gymnastics championship; the Cardinal have won at least one NCAA team title for 50 straight seasons, since the men’s water polo team beat UCLA 13-12 for the national championship on Nov. 28, 1976. The next longest active streak is North Carolina’s seven straight years with at least one team title.
Iwai had a 14.433 on the vault, tied with Nebraska’s Tyler Flores for first. Landen Blixt of Michigan was third (14.366).
Flores, Nathan Roman (14.800 on the parallel bars) and Kelton Christiansen (14.400, high bar) each won individual titles for the second-place Sooners.
Kim scored a 14.466 to win gold on the floor to beat Richard (14.400). Kuebler and Tate Costa of Illinois finished third with 14.166.
Brandon Dang (Illinois) won the pommel horse with a score of 14.700, Michigan’s Aaronson Mansberger was second (14.566) and Colby Aranda of Oklahoma finished third with 14.133 points.

Mets in free fall after losing 10th straight game
CHICAGO — The New York Mets will have to defy the odds if they plan on making the postseason this year after dropping their 10th consecutive game on Saturday, a 4-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Only three teams in the divisional era (since 1969) have made the postseason after a double-digit losing streak — including last year’s Cleveland Guardians.
“No one is going to feel sorry for us,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said after the latest defeat. “We have to keep going. We haven’t been playing good baseball. We have 5½ months ahead. We have the opportunity to write our own story.”
The Mets say they can’t point to any single thing which has led them to their longest April losing streak in franchise history. They certainly aren’t hitting enough, scoring just 18 runs during the streak, the fewest for them over 10 games since June 3-5, 2018.
They’re also making bad pitches, like the one reliever Brooks Raley made to pinch hitter Carson Kelly in the sixth inning Saturday. Kelly deposited Raley’s first pitch cutter into the left-field bleachers for a three-run home run, breaking a 1-1 tie. The Cubs cruised to victory from there.
“We haven’t been able to put together a complete game,” Mendoza said. “It’s either the offense or starting pitching, like not making [that] pitch, not making a play, not getting a big hit. Just having a hard time playing a complete game right now.”
Mendoza’s job is seemingly safe after president of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday he thought his third-year manager was doing a good job and is putting players in a position to succeed. Of course, things can change if the losses continue to pile up for the Mets, who missed the postseason last year after a disastrous second half.
The team is trying not to focus on the negative this early in the season.
“It’s a big boy league,” infielder Marcus Semien said. “There is no time to dwell on tonight. Tomorrow is a new day … It’s as simple as showing up tomorrow with a good attitude. Hopefully other guys see a smile on my face when I show up.”
Semien and Mendoza offered up few solutions to the team’s plight, though getting All-Star Juan Soto back from a calf injury should help. But that won’t happen for a few more days. With DH Jorge Polanco (wrist) on the shelf as well, the Mets will need others to step up.
A late winter overhaul by Stearns led to a positive feeling about the team entering this season. But those additions, like Saturday’s starter Freddy Peralta, haven’t produced enough. Third baseman Mark Vientos did hit a long home run in the loss but New York’s offense was mostly quiet the rest of the day.
Mendoza was asked how he thought Mets fans were feeling right now.
“They have the right to be pissed and frustrated,” he said. “They care. Just like we do. … I understand how they’re feeling. I’d be pissed too, if I was a fan. I’m pissed. They’re pissed.”
The 10-game losing streak is the longest in April since the 2023 White Sox. The loss has the Mets 6½ games behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East, an unusually large deficit for this time of year.
“It’s frustrating to lose baseball games and when you lose this many in a row, it compounds,” Semien said. “The game does not own you any wins. You have to go out and get it.”
The Mets rank in the bottom half of the league in most offensive and pitching categories, including home runs. They’ve hit just 15 this season, only ahead of the San Francisco Giants for fewest in the National League. Their starting pitching isn’t much better, ranking 21st in ERA.
The team is hoping Sunday will bring them different results.
“We have to do something to get in the W column,” Semien said. “No one is showing up thinking about how it’s going to happen again. We’re thinking about how we’re going to win.”
Mendoza added: “Were putting ourselves in a hole right now. There is only one way to [get out of] it. Come back tomorrow, ready to go.”
