"Besides wanting to continue their current win streak, the Patriots had another motivation to beat the Bucs on the road: to prove to the doubters who keep referring to their "easy schedule" that they're capable of beating some of the best teams in the league. And fortunately, they did just that. It wasn't without the help of two standout rookies, RB TreVeyon Henderson and WR Kyle Williams, both of whom scored incredible touchdowns to keep the team ahead."
"Although his performance was far from top-tier, the second-year quarterback continued his MVP trek this week, and Patriots fans made sure to remind him of that as he exited the field. It was something that could be heard throughout the entire game, and several Patriots reporters noted there was a massive presence of New England fans in attendance, making their win that much sweeter."
"Over the last few years, there haven't been many chants heard from Patriots fans at Gillette Stadium or elsewhere that anyone cares to remember. Other than the demands for Bailey Zappe to replace Mac Jones more than once, there were also far too many instances of boo's ringing out from the stands, which looks to be a distant memory now with the 2025 team."
The New England Patriots beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road in Week 10, overcoming questions about their schedule and extending their win streak. Two rookies delivered crucial scoring plays: RB TreVeyon Henderson and WR Kyle Williams each scored incredible touchdowns that helped preserve the lead. Second-year quarterback Drake Maye played a mistake-filled yet still effective game, including an ill-timed interception that nearly cost the team. Patriots fans loudly chanted MVP for Maye throughout the game, creating a strong New England presence in the stadium. The victory bolstered Maye's MVP narrative and signaled the Patriots' ability to beat top opponents.
