Drake Maye Aims to Stay Red-Hot Against Dolphins, Secure Playoff Seeding

Patriots QB Drake Maye, who has embraced a leadership role, aims to maintain his strong performance against the Dolphins in Week 18. A win could secure at least the AFC's No. 2 seed. Maye, an efficient downfield passer, will face Miami's frequent Cover 2 defense, where he's completed 76.5% of passes since Week 11. He may need to exploit intermediate windows over the middle, an area where the Dolphins have shown vulnerability.
