"The New England Patriots went into New Jersey and swamped the Jets, 42-10. They upped their record to 13-3, and it was the team's eighth straight road win in 2025. Along with the team's accomplishments thus far, young quarterback Drake Maye also joined elite Patriots company. He passed the 4000-yard passing mark, making him only the third Patriots quarterback to do so, joining Tom Brady (11 times) and Brady's predecessor, Drew Bledsoe, who did it twice."
"The key to the Patriots, as he is for any NFL team, is the quarterback. Vrabel knew that despite misguided criticism of Maye's totally mismanaged rookie season, he had a star on his hands. He confirmed that by saying Maye's presence was one of the reasons he took the job in the first place. He wasn't wrong, and Maye has fully justified his confidence."
"Drake Maye had a superb rookie season, though he didn't receive any first-team snaps until the fourth game of the season. Regardless, he still had a solid rookie year with a 66 percent completion rate, 15 TDs, and 10 interceptions, all with a bottom-of-the-NFL cast. In 2025, he's been brilliant all season. Against the Jets in New Jersey, Maye took his game to an even higher level and joined two Patriots legends in the process."
The New England Patriots beat the New York Jets 42-10 in New Jersey, improving to 13-3 and recording their eighth straight road win in 2025. Quarterback Drake Maye passed the 4,000-yard mark, becoming the third Patriots quarterback to reach that total after Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe. The Patriots head into the final regular-season game one win from Mike Vrabel's goal of displacing the Buffalo Bills atop the AFC East. Vrabel cited Maye's presence as a reason he accepted the job, and Maye has justified that confidence. Maye followed a solid rookie year with a dominant 2025 campaign and key performances down the stretch.
