Game Summary

On October 18, 2026, the New England Patriots defeated the New York Jets 26-19 at Gillette Stadium. Drake Maye threw 3 touchdown passes to help New England secure its third consecutive victory.

Maye completed 18 of 32 attempts for 235 yards. His scoring throws included a 42-yard touchdown to Romeo Doubs, who injured his shoulder on the catch. Maye also found DeMario Douglas and Hunter Henry for touchdowns.

The Patriots received an important defensive contribution from Charles Woods in the fourth quarter. He intercepted Geno Smith, becoming the first player to pick off a Jets pass this season.

New England also kept Maye from being sacked despite injuries along its offensive line. The Patriots recovered New York's onside kick attempt to protect the final margin.

The victory moved New England to 4-2 overall and 3-0 at home. It also improved the Patriots to 2-0 in the AFC East and extended their winning streak against the Jets to 4 games.
