"Maye was at his best when the Patriots needed him most and their chances and depth chart were slimmest. We do not say this casually, because it is the highest praise a quarterback can receive. But why deny the truth, especially since it's so darned fun to acknowledge? The performance quarterback Drake Maye put on Sunday night in front of a national television audience, rallying the Patriots from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Ravens, 28-24, was Tom Brady-level stuff."
"His statistics were superb. He finished with 31 completions in 44 attempts for a career-high 380 yards - his first 300-yard passing game - with two touchdowns and an early interception despite being under siege for most of the second half. But the stats don't come close to doing his performance justice. Maye was at his best when the Patriots needed him most and their chances and depth chart were slimmest."
Drake Maye engineered a fourth-quarter rally that erased an 11-point deficit and secured a 28-24 win over the Ravens, clinching the Patriots' first playoff berth since 2021. Maye completed 31 of 44 passes for a career-high 380 yards, two touchdowns and an early interception while facing heavy pressure in the second half. He led a seven-play, 73-yard touchdown drive and converted a two-point play to cut the deficit, then orchestrated the game-winning sequence in the final minutes. Multiple Patriots sustained injuries during the game, thinning depth and increasing reliance on Maye's composure.
