Drake Maye had another great night and is aiming for the MVP award.
Drake Maye has become the new hope for the New England Patriots. Since Tom Brady’s departure to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they hadn’t had successful seasons. Mac Jones couldn’t carry the load and had to leave, leaving the starting job vacant for a red-hot and talented Maye, who is poised for a great and historic season.
The Patriots hosted the New York Giants, one of the worst teams of the entire season. Gillette Stadium was ready to witness a new version of the historic Tom Brady vs. Eli Manning rivalry, a new generation of quarterbacks reminiscent of Elisha’s two Super Bowl victories. Now, Drake Maye and Jaxson Dart were at the helm, leading a new generation brimming with talent.
New England has been one of the best teams in the league, becoming the first to reach 10 wins. They came into the game with only two losses. They faced an already eliminated New York team. The game ended 33-15 in favor of the Patriots, who benefited from another stellar performance by Maye at quarterback. With this win, he continues to solidify his status as the favorite to win the MVP award.

In prime time, the former University of North Carolina quarterback had a brilliant night. He completed 24 of 31 passes for 282 passing yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and three sacks. He also posted a quarterback rating of 126.6. Once again, another great game from Maye keeps him the favorite to win the MVP award, ahead of players like Matthew Stafford and Patrick Mahomes.
In 2025, Drake has had a fantasy season, completing 276 of his 386 passes, a 71.5% completion rate. He has thrown 23 touchdown passes and only six interceptions in the 13 weeks he has played in the regular season. He ranks number one in the entire league in total yards with 3,412, fourth in touchdowns with 23, and fourth in quarterback rating with 72.8.
