The New England Patriots swept the New York Jets during the 2025 NFL regular season, winning 27-14 on November 13 and 42-10 on December 28. Across the two games, New England outscored New York 69-24 and accumulated 776 total yards.
Drake Maye was the defining player in the season series. The Patriots quarterback completed 44 of 55 passes for 537 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. He produced a 107.6 passer rating in the first meeting before finishing the rematch with five touchdown passes and a 157.0 rating.
The Jets ran for more yards than New England across the two games, but their passing offense could not keep pace. New York generated only 248 net passing yards in the series, compared with 556 for the Patriots.

Neither quarterback threw an interception. Fields, however, lost a fourth-quarter fumble at the Jets’ 11-yard line. New England converted the short field into a 26-yard Andrés Borregales field goal.

New York’s 140 rushing yards doubled New England’s 65. Fields led the Jets with 67 yards and scored on a five-yard run to complete a 14-play opening drive.
Henderson’s impact came from scoring opportunities rather than his average. He rushed for two seven-yard touchdowns in the second quarter, turning a 7-0 deficit into a 14-7 Patriots lead.

Diggs was the game’s leading receiver with nine catches and 105 yards. Five Patriots recorded at least 30 receiving yards, giving Maye several ways to move the ball.
The Jets had only one completion longer than 11 yards: Metchie’s 22-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Mitchell’s line was particularly costly for New York. He caught only one of six targets, limiting the Jets’ ability to create plays outside their short passing game.
How New England won the November game
Maye consistently gained more through the air
The Patriots recorded 271 net passing yards, while the Jets managed 105. New England averaged 7.7 net yards per pass play; New York averaged 3.6.
That 166-yard net passing advantage more than erased the Jets’ superiority on the ground.
Henderson finished drives
Henderson scored three touchdowns: two rushing and one receiving. His six-yard catch from Maye extended New England’s lead to 21-7 in the third quarter.
New England protected the football
The Patriots committed no turnovers. The Jets’ lost fumble produced a New England field goal, accounting for the final points of the game.
The Patriots sustained more offense
New England recorded 23 first downs and held the ball for 31:56. The Jets finished with 15 first downs and possessed it for 28:04.
Second meeting: Patriots 42, Jets 10
The December 28 rematch at MetLife Stadium was far more decisive. New England scored touchdowns on five of its six first-half possessions and entered halftime ahead 35-3.
The Patriots added another touchdown in the third quarter before the Jets produced their only touchdown on Breece Hall’s 59-yard run early in the fourth.
The official NFL Patriots-Jets gamebook credits New England with 440 total yards, 28 first downs and touchdowns on all six of its successful red-zone trips.
December 28 passing stats
| Player | Team | CMP-ATT | YDS | TD | INT | Sacks | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drake Maye | Patriots | 19-21 | 256 | 5 | 0 | 1-1 | 157.0 |
| Joshua Dobbs | Patriots | 3-4 | 30 | 0 | 0 | 0-0 | 95.8 |

| Austin McNamara | Jets | 1-1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0-0 | 79.2 |
Maye completed 90.5% of his passes and averaged 12.2 yards per attempt. His 157.0 passer rating was just short of the NFL’s 158.3 maximum.
His five touchdown passes went to five receivers:
- Austin Hooper
- Rhamondre Stevenson
- Stefon Diggs
- Hunter Henry
- Efton Chism III
Cook faced a 14-point deficit before the first quarter ended. He completed 57.6% of his attempts, threw no touchdown passes and was intercepted by Jaylinn Hawkins.
December 28 rushing stats
| Player | Team | ATT | YDS | AVG | LONG | TD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breece Hall | Jets | 14 | 111 | 7.9 | 59 | 1 |
| TreVeyon Henderson | Patriots | 19 | 82 | 4.3 | 17 | 0 |

| Drake Maye | Patriots | 3 | 22 | 7.3 | 11 | 0 |
| Isaiah Davis | Jets | 3 | 11 | 3.7 | 12 | 0 |
Hall delivered New York’s most productive offensive performance. His 111 rushing yards included the 59-yard touchdown that made the score 42-10.
That long run accounted for more than half of Hall’s total and nearly one-fifth of the Jets’ 307 offensive yards. It was an explosive individual play, but it came after New England had established a 39-point advantage.
December 28 receiving stats

Diggs again crossed 100 receiving yards. His six catches produced 101 yards and a three-yard touchdown.
New England completed 22 passes to seven receivers. Five of those players caught a touchdown, illustrating how broadly Maye distributed the scoring production.
Mitchell again received a team-high number of targets for the Jets but finished with only three catches and 22 yards.
How the Patriots turned the rematch into a rout
Six consecutive touchdown drives built the lead
New England’s first six scoring possessions ended with touchdowns. Those drives covered:
- 61 yards
- 85 yards
- 66 yards
- 74 yards
- 91 yards
- 47 yards
Five different receivers caught touchdown passes, while Stevenson scored the other touchdown on a one-yard run.
The passing difference became overwhelming
New England finished with 285 net passing yards. New York had 143.
The Patriots averaged 11.0 net yards per pass play, more than double the Jets’ 4.1. New England also completed 22 of 25 team attempts, compared with New York’s 20 of 34.
Red-zone execution separated the teams
The Patriots scored touchdowns on all six red-zone visits. The Jets reached the red zone three times but failed to score a touchdown on any of those possessions.
New York converted just two of six fourth-down attempts. Three failed fourth downs ended second-half drives in New England territory.
New England again avoided turnovers
The Patriots did not give the ball away in either 2025 meeting. New York committed one turnover in each game.
Drake Maye was the series’ decisive player
Maye followed a strong first performance with an almost perfect rematch.
| Statistic | November 13 | December 28 | Series total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completions-attempts | 25-34 | 19-21 | 44-55 |
| Passing yards | 281 | 256 | 537 |
| Passing touchdowns | 1 | 5 | 6 |
| Interceptions | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Passer rating | 107.6 | 157.0 | — |
Across the series, Maye completed 80% of his passes. His six touchdown passes went to six different players because Henderson scored in the first meeting and five other receivers scored in the second.
New York generated substantial rushing production, but it did not have an equivalent answer to Maye’s efficiency.
Stefon Diggs produced matching 100-yard games
Diggs led both games in receiving yards:
- November 13: nine catches for 105 yards
- December 28: six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown
His combined line was 15 receptions for 206 yards and one score. He caught 88.2% of his 17 targets and averaged 13.7 yards per reception.
Diggs’ performance also showed the difference between the passing attacks. No Jets receiver reached 50 yards in either meeting.
Breece Hall gave New York its strongest production
Hall finished the season series with:
- 28 rushing attempts
- 169 rushing yards
- 6.0 yards per carry
- One rushing touchdown
- Four receptions
- 24 receiving yards
His 111-yard performance in the rematch was the best rushing total by any player in the two games.
The wider score limits what that number says about the contest. New York trailed 42-3 before Hall broke his 59-yard touchdown run. His performance remained individually productive, but it did not create a competitive fourth quarter.
TreVeyon Henderson’s value went beyond yardage
Henderson rushed 38 times for 144 yards across the two meetings. Hall gained 25 more rushing yards on 10 fewer attempts.
Henderson nevertheless scored three touchdowns in the series, all during the first matchup. He also helped New England control the rematch with 82 rushing yards.
His results show why total yardage cannot be evaluated alone. Hall generated more explosive rushing production, while Henderson supplied New England with early scoring and repeatable workload.
The statistic that best explains the sweep
New York won the combined rushing comparison 304-220. New England won the net passing comparison 556-248.
That 308-yard passing advantage was the largest meaningful separation between the offenses. The Patriots also finished drives more effectively:
- New England scored nine offensive touchdowns.
- New York scored three.
- The Patriots committed no turnovers.
- The Jets committed two.
- New England converted every fourth-down attempt.
- New York failed on five of seven fourth downs.
The Patriots did not win simply because they ran more effectively. They won because Maye produced far more through the air and the offense converted its best opportunities into touchdowns.
