Maye's Historic 5-TD Outing Clinches AFC East Title for Patriots

Patriots QB Drake Maye delivered an MVP-caliber performance in Week 17, throwing five touchdown passes and completing 19-of-21 attempts for 256 yards, plus 22 rushing yards, achieving a near-perfect 157 passer rating. He became the first QB since 1981 with five TDs and over 90% completion, connecting with Austin Hooper, Rhamondre Stevenson (22-yard TD), Stefon Diggs, Hunter Henry (13-yard TD), and Efton Chism. The 42-10 win over the Jets clinched the AFC East title, earning him a spot on the NFL Week 17 Team of the Week.
