"With four games left on their regular-season docket, Mike Vrabel and the 2025 Patriots have already exceeded plenty of expectations so far this fall. Even the most optimistic Patriots fans were predicting plenty of growing pains in what was expected to be a multi-year rebuild. Instead, the 11-2 Patriots are tied with the Broncos for the best record in the NFL - and could be one of the top Super Bowl contenders in a wide-open AFC field this winter."
"We expected Drake Maye to take a second-year leap this season, even if there were going to be some inevitable bumps in the road when it came to his development. Sure enough, Maye has taken that leap and established himself as one of the top QBs in the game today. But, those expected struggles have been hard to come by amid a season where the 23-year-old Patriots star is playing like a legitimate MVP candidate."
"Our projected stat line for Maye this season? 26 passing touchdowns, four rushing scores, and 13 interceptions. With four games to go, Maye has already thrown for 23 touchdowns, 3,412 passing yards, and two rushing scores. Maye's elite arm strength and ability to extend plays with his legs was established last year. But, his accuracy has been truly impressive this season, with Maye completing 71.5 percent of his throws and only getting knocked for six interceptions."
Mike Vrabel's 2025 New England Patriots hold an 11-2 record with four regular-season games remaining. Preseason expectations predicted growing pains and a multi-year rebuild, but the team has exceeded those forecasts and is tied with the Broncos for the NFL's best record. Drake Maye has emerged as an elite quarterback, completing 71.5 percent of passes with six interceptions and demonstrating impressive accuracy and play-extension ability. Maye has 23 passing touchdowns, 3,412 yards, and two rushing scores through 13 games. The Patriots are being discussed as top Super Bowl contenders in a wide-open AFC while preparing to face the Bills next Sunday.
