"The New England Patriots are heading back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2018 season. On Sunday, the Patriots clinched their trip to Santa Clara, Calif., for Super Bowl 60 after defeating the Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC Championship Game. New England's offense may not have done much against Denver's impressive defense and snowy conditions, but quarterback Drake Maye did just enough to ensure the Patriots could make a return trip to the big game."
"After the game, Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs spoke to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, and praised Maye for helping lead the team to the win on Sunday, calling him " a MVP." "That's a soldier, man. That's a MVP, man. That's a man that stands 10 toes, battles through adversity. He's a hell of a QB. I'm riding with Drake Maye," said Diggs."
"Maye didn't have to do much to pick up the win, but that's what you want from your quarterback: minimal mistakes. Maye completed just 10-of-21 pass attempts for a total of 86 yards. But most importantly, Maye had zero turnovers. Meanwhile, Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham had two turnovers, thanks to the Patriots' defense. The Patriots have made it this far because of Maye, which is why he is a finalist for the NFL MVP Award. This season, Maye threw for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns, and eight interceptions on a league-best 72.0 completion percentage."
