"The Patriots have won eight games in a row, breaking a tie with the Denver Broncos for the league's longest current winning streak. After finishing 4-13 in each of the past two seasons, they are just the fourth team in the past 25 years to win nine of their first 11 games after having four or fewer wins in the previous season, joining the 2013 Kansas City Chiefs, 2016 Dallas Cowboys and 2019 San Francisco 49ers."
"Over the past 20 years, Maye became just the fourth quarterback in his first or second NFL season to lead his team to eight straight victories and have his team score at least 20 points in each of those games. Dallas' Dak Prescott (10 straight in 2016), Philadelphia's Carson Wentz (nine straight in 2017) and Baltimore's Lamar Jackson (eight straight in 2019) were the others."
Drake Maye delivered another strong performance as the New England Patriots beat the New York Jets 27-14 to reach 9-2. Maye completed his first 11 passes and finished 25-of-34 for 281 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. New England has won eight consecutive games, the NFL's longest active streak, after consecutive 4-13 seasons. The team joined three other clubs in the past 25 years to win nine of its first 11 games after a prior season with four or fewer wins. Maye became the fourth quarterback in his first two seasons to lead an eight-game win streak with at least 20 points scored in each contest. Head coach Mike Vrabel received credit from players for instilling a culture that catalyzed the turnaround.
