"It has been proven that the New England Patriots can never succeed without some sort of negative narrative following them throughout the NFL season. That is, unfortunately, what they're dealing with (again) this year in the midst of their nine-game win streak, and Drake Maye finds himself in the middle of it. Besides the notion that they're only at the top of the league because of their easy schedule, and Maye is only an MVP candidate because of that,"
"The latest criticism, much of it warranted, surrounds the Patriots' inability to score from the goal line, which was on full display last week in Cincinnati. Despite having multiple chances to do so, Maye couldn't lead his team into the end zone, with a failed quarterback sneak to top it off. He will have a chance to right that wrong against the Giants on Monday night, despite facing an extraordinary defensive line that won't make it easy, and fortunately, Maye seems up for the challenge."
Negative narratives continue to shadow the New England Patriots despite a nine-game win streak, including claims that their record and Drake Maye's MVP candidacy stem from an easy schedule. Critics have focused on the Patriots' inability to convert goal-line chances, highlighted by last week's failed quarterback sneak in Cincinnati. Maye failed to lead the offense into the end zone on multiple opportunities and faces a stiff challenge against the Giants' extraordinary defensive line on Monday night. Maye acknowledged the problem, joked that success on the QB sneak is a mentality, and said he needs to flip a switch or try something different to score.
