"For much of the 2025 season, Drake Maye has played like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, which has only become more apparent during the New England Patriots' 10-game win streak. His efficiency and mobility have been on full display, and his impressive ease in completing deep throws has been one of the most exciting parts of his performance so far."
"That has helped lead the team to an 11-2 record going into their bye week, and another nearly impeccable game against the Giants on Monday Night Football really set the tone for their return in Week 15. So much so, that the young quarterback has finally been recognized by the NFL in a way we haven't seen a Patriots quarterback acknowledged since Tom Brady by being named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week."
Drake Maye has delivered elite quarterback play through much of the 2025 season, showcasing efficiency, mobility, and a knack for deep completions. Those traits powered a 10-game win streak and an 11-2 record entering the bye week. A near-impeccable performance against the Giants produced a 24-for-30 stat line for 282 yards and two touchdowns, earning AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. The 23-year-old's recent surge positions him as an MVP contender and a leader pushing the Patriots toward their first playoff berth since 2021. The performance solidifies his status as the franchise quarterback.
