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 Patriots placed defensive tackle Milton Williams on injured reserve Saturday, a transaction that will sideline Williams for the team’s next four games. Williams hurt his ankle in the first half of Thursday’s win over the Jets and attempted to play through the pain in the second half.
