"FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has made plenty of highlight-reel plays this season to become the favorite to win the NFL's Most Valuable Player Award. But it's one of the simplest plays in the playbook that excites the second-year player more than any other: Maye ensures three players are behind him, approaches the line of scrimmage, sets under center Garrett Bradbury, calls for the snap and then backtracks a step before planting his left knee in the ground."
"The 23-year-old Maye has helped the 8-2 Patriots to a seven-game winning streak, tied for the longest in the NFL with the Denver Broncos, and hopes to be calling the victory formation again Thursday when they host the 2-7 New York Jets (8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video). This season, Maye ranks in the top three in completion percentage (71.7%), passing touchdowns (19) and passing yards (2,555)."
