Why Mike Vrabel put his 'arts-and-crafts' skills to the test designing Drake Maye's game ball
""Oh, it was just a pretty special performance," Vrabel said. "It's no secret how I feel about Drake. Again, that was a special game ball. That was one that I had constructed that had a lot of tape and paper, and I did arts and crafts on it.""
""That was all our road wins on the ball that I had taped on there. So, he better bring it in here, and he better put it in the quarterback room because I put a lot of time and effort into that thing.""
""Stick had done a nice game ball that had those three games on there, and so then I went back and kind of added on all the other ones," Vrabel said. "I printed them off and put them on there. So, I'd said the night before, whoever was the player to gain, they got this special game ball.""
Drake Maye completed 19 of 21 passes with five touchdown throws to five different receivers by halftime, posting the highest single-game QBR ever and powering New England to a 42-10 victory over the Jets. The win secured a perfect 8-0 regular-season road record for the Patriots. Coach Mike Vrabel presented a specially constructed, decorated game ball that featured the team’s road wins. Maye has been especially effective on the road this season, completing 72 percent of road attempts, compiling a 120.2 road quarterback rating, and producing 17 of his 30 touchdowns away from home.
