"Now, one week later, they've shown they can, and as a result, nothing remains beyond their reach. With a dazzling fourth-quarter performance, Maye interjected himself back into the MVP discussion after taking his team from an 11-point deficit to a win against an injury-diminished yet still feisty Baltimore Ravens team. In the process, the Patriots nailed down their first playoff berth since 2021."
"It was on the road against the Ravens and two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson and his bruising, 252-pound running back Derrick Henry. The first half was sloppy, and the score at halftime was 10-10. Yet, in the second half, the Ravens ultimately zoomed to an 11-point advantage, and things looked bleak for the Patriots. Yet, in a reversal of fortune, this week, Maye rose to the occasion."
After a Week 15 collapse and a blown lead against Buffalo, the Patriots responded with a fourth-quarter rally that erased an 11-point deficit to beat the Baltimore Ravens. Drake Maye led the comeback with a dazzling late performance that returned him to MVP consideration and clinched New England's first playoff berth since 2021. The victory came on the road against Lamar Jackson and a rushing attack featuring Derrick Henry, after a sloppy first half that was tied 10-10. The reversal demonstrated Maye's toughness and suggested that the young Patriots are a legitimate title-contending force in 2025.
