""One year ago, the Patriots had gone 4-13 in back-to-back seasons. Five-year-olds had never known a New England playoff team. Then Vrabel...came home. And the quarterback everyone had been waiting for finally showed up. Maye completed 72 percent of his passes, led the league in QB rating, and was robbed of the MVP by voters who chose a veteran over a revelation.""
""Under Vrabel's leadership in his first year as Patriots head coach - and a MVP-level campaign from Maye in just his second year in the NFL ranks - the Patriots posted a 14-3 record and made it all the way to Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks.""
