Maye Leads Patriots to AFC Championship, Expresses Sympathy for Nix

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye led his team to a 28-16 divisional-round win over the Texans, securing a spot in the AFC Championship Game. Maye completed 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception. Despite ball security issues, including four fumbles (losing two), he connected with DeMario Douglas, Stefon Diggs, and Kayshon Boutte for scores. Maye, now with a 4:2 TD:INT ratio in two playoff games, will face Denver next. He also expressed being 'heartbroken' over fellow 2024 NFL Draft prospect Bo Nix's season-ending ankle injury.
