The Pats signal-caller finished 26-of-39 through the air for 329 yards and no interceptions as New England (6-3) broke a two-game losing streak and established a one-game lead over the Jets in the division.
Gronkowski ended with eight catches for 113 yards. Deion Branch added five grabs for 58 yards and a score in the win.
New York's Mark Sanchez completed 20-of-39 passes for 306 yards and a TD but was intercepted twice, including a pick-off that was returned for a touchdown by Rob Ninkovich.
