"Because the 23-year-old quarterback is doing far more than taking that sought-after "second-year leap" in the NFL ranks. Rather, he's playing like one of the top-five best QBs in the game so far this season. If last week was Maye's coming-out party as he out-dueled Josh Allen and the Bills, this performance cemented that Maye's ascension isn't a fluke as he continues to elevate a Patriots team on the rise."
"Maye was once again efficient and impactful as the conductor of New England's offense - completing 18 of 26 passes for 261 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions while also rushing for 28 yards. A reasonable expectation for this season was for Maye to limit the turnovers and showcase signs that he could thrive in Josh McDaniels' offense in due time."
"Fresh off of an upset victory over the Bills in Week 5, Mike Vrabel, Drake Maye, and the Patriots didn't succumb to the dreaded "trap game" - beating the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome, 25-19. It was another standout performance from Maye on the road. But it wasn't a perfect showing for New England, especially in the run game."
New England beat the New Orleans Saints 25-19 in the Superdome, marking the Patriots' first three-game winning streak since 2022. Drake Maye completed 18 of 26 passes for 261 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and rushed for 28 yards, while averaging 10 yards per attempt. Maye has produced five consecutive games with over 200 passing yards and a 100+ passer rating, joining a select group of young quarterbacks. Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas delivered strong performances, and Mike Vrabel's team avoided a trap game after upsetting the Bills in Week 5. The run game showed weaknesses.
