"Even though Maye didn't have his best game against the Broncos, he accomplished something that even Tom Brady never could in the playoffs. Despite leading perhaps the greatest dynasty in NFL history, Brady never beat the Broncos in Denver in the playoffs. In just his second year in the league, Maye has taken down the team that consistently haunted Brady and the Patriots in the AFC playoffs."
"Of course, it wasn't just Maye that took down the Broncos. In fact, he didn't even lead the charge in this game. The win was championed by the Patriots' defense. After allowing a touchdown to the Broncos early in the first quarter, New England didn't give up a single point for the remainder of the game. Maye and the offense were only able to score ten points, but it was enough to outpace Denver."
Drake Maye and the New England Patriots defeated the Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC Championship Game, advancing to the Super Bowl. Harsh weather and suffocating defense defined the contest. Maye did not have his best game but achieved something Tom Brady never did in the playoffs. Despite leading a dynasty, Brady never beat the Broncos in Denver in the playoffs. The Patriots historically struggled in playoff meetings with Denver, including multiple Brady losses and only one win at Gillette Stadium. New England's defense shut out Denver after an early touchdown, and the offense's ten points were enough to win.
