Drake Maye Fuels NFL MVP Buzz After Leading Patriots to Eighth Consecutive Victory

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is generating NFL MVP buzz after guiding his team to their eighth consecutive victory, improving their record to 9-2 and first place in the AFC East. In their latest win against the New York Jets, Maye completed 25-for-32 passes (73.5%) for 281 yards and one touchdown, achieving a 107.6 QB rating. This marked his fourth consecutive game with over 250 passing yards. Through 11 games, the 23-year-old leads the league with 2,836 passing yards and is tied for second with 20 touchdowns against just five interceptions. FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd lauded Maye's high-level execution, particularly his 78% completion rate on first downs, comparing him to a more athletic Tom Brady. The Patriots, who finished 4-13 last season, will next face the Cincinnati Bengals. If he wins MVP, he'd be the third-youngest behind Lamar Jackson and Jim Brown.
