"Drake Maye left his teammates mesmerized (but not surprised) during marquee win over Bills The Patriots had many heroes in the Buffalo game, from WR Stefon Diggs to CB Marcus Jones to rookie kicker Andy Borregales. But only one performer left NFL fans and analysts alike picking their jaws up off the floor, and that was Maye, who made elite plays down that stretch that you don't typically see from a QB making his 17th career start."
"For all that's been made of the culture shift in Foxboro under Vrabel's watch, Maye might not be getting the credit he deserves. Fans can only catch small glimpses of the mild-mannered, "aw-shucks" 23-year-old during press conferences and broadcasts. But the more Maye's teammates talk, the more we learn about the underrated leader he's become behind the scenes."
""We've got complete trust in him. He's our guy. I'll go to war with him any day. I know he's a dog." - cornerback Carlton Davis"
