""I think competitively, most everyone who's been in strong competition will tell you that it's a little bit easier to get to the top than just stay on top," Belichick said. "Certainly, an organization like Washington could see that this year. They had a great year last year. Things fell right for them. And this year, everybody's gunning for them. And it's a lot tougher.""
""Maye has put himself in the conversation for league MVP in his first full season as New England's starting QB - with DraftKings tabbing Maye with the third-best MVP odds (+425) behind only Josh Allen (+180) and Patrick Mahomes (+350). Even with an uneven performance on Sunday against the Falcons, Maye is still completing 74.1 percent of his passes this season - throwing for 2,285 yards (fifth in NFL) to go along with 17 touchdowns (T-3rd) and just four interceptions.""
The New England Patriots sit at 7-2 largely due to Drake Maye's emergence as their starting quarterback. Maye is completing 74.1 percent of passes for 2,285 yards (fifth in the NFL) with 17 touchdowns and four interceptions, plus 270 rushing yards and two rushing scores. DraftKings lists Maye with the third-best MVP odds (+425) behind Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. The season underscores the risk of a sophomore slump for young quarterbacks and how rapid regression, exemplified by Washington and Jayden Daniels, can quickly alter a team's trajectory. Close wins have significantly changed the Patriots' record this year.
