"If you're a Patriots fan, it's endlessly amusing that a half-dozen years after Tom Brady's exceptional 20-year run ended, the franchise has found another extraordinary quarterback in Drake Maye. It's especially amusing when you consider that the best quarterback in Jets history played when the franchise was in a different league, and by far the most legendary moment in franchise lore was Joe Namath's victory guarantee before Super Bowl III. That's right, III. The Jets have been waiting five decades for his true successor."
"It's not fair, but that's how it is. And so the Patriots, in Maye's remarkable second season, look for their 13th victory Sunday, and to finish with an 8-0 record on the road, which would be the third time in franchise history that they've achieved such a feat. The Jets, under rookie coach Aaron Glenn, are a mess even by their standards."
Patriots seek a 13th win and an 8-0 road finish while trying to avoid more roster attrition after an injury-plagued come-from-behind 28-24 victory over the Ravens. Drake Maye has emerged as an extraordinary quarterback in his second season. The Jets sit at 3-12 under rookie coach Aaron Glenn after a 29-6 loss to the Saints, and undrafted rookie Brady Cook will make his third start despite limited success. The Patriots are expected to control the game if they do not overlook a beleaguered Jets team. Rhamondre Stevenson is a player to watch given past fumble concerns.
