"Heading into Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is still at the top of the MVP conversation, falling just behind 17-year veteran Matthew Stafford. The two have been mostly neck and neck in recent weeks, but Stafford's big-time win over the Cardinals on Sunday has many analysts (and bettors) moving him up the ladder for the award, while Maye falls."
"Despite the much better roster the veteran is working with, Maye has accomplished a lot with far less during a season that most believed would be another wash in New England. Predictions before the season began had the Patriots winning up to eight games, so the fact that they have already won 11 going into their next matchup is beyond impressive."
Drake Maye entered Week 15 as a top MVP contender but has slipped slightly behind veteran Matthew Stafford after Stafford's decisive win over the Cardinals. Stafford benefits from a stronger roster and recent performances that have moved analysts and bettors in his favor. Maye has led the Patriots to 11 wins despite low preseason expectations and limited supporting talent. Micah Parsons named Stafford, Jordan Love, and Dak Prescott as his top three MVP choices, omitting Maye. Critics cite an allegedly easy schedule against Maye, yet his production and team success challenge that dismissal.
