"Maye ensured the Patriots were in position to do so with a history-making performance, then was able to sit back with teammates and celebrate winning the AFC East title as the Buffalo Bills lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 13-12, in Orchard Park, New York, later in the day. It marked the Patriots' first division title since 2019. The Bills had won it in each year since."
"On his first day on the job in January as the franchise was coming off a 4-13 season, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said: "Our goals will be to win the AFC East, to host home playoff games, and to compete for championships. We're certainly not going to put a timeline on what those will be. But that's going to be the expectations.""
Drake Maye guided the New England Patriots to a 42-10 victory over the New York Jets and positioned the team to clinch the AFC East after the Buffalo Bills lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. Maye completed 19 of 21 passes for 256 yards, with five touchdowns and no interceptions; one incompletion resulted from a receiver drop. The title marks the Patriots' first division crown since 2019, ending the Bills' recent run of East championships. Mike Vrabel set franchise goals to win the AFC East, host playoff games and compete for championships, and Maye's rapid ascension has been central to that progress.
