Their quarterback, Drake Maye, also made a statement with a 73.3 percent completion percentage, taking his 2025 season's total to near historic levels in NFL history at 73.9 percent.

The magnitude of going into the house of the best team in the AFC on a huge national stage and taking home a win can't be overestimated. The Patriots announced themselves to the world, and Maye introduced himself as the star of the show."
