"Drake Maye knew the questions were coming after a night where chants of "MVP!" rained down on him at Gillette Stadium. It came as little surprise that the 23-year-old quarterback deflected any talk of his rising stock as one of the top players in the NFL. And on Thursday night, he had an easy avenue to deflect said discourse. "May have been for TreVeyon tonight," Maye said of those chants. "He scored three touchdowns.""
"In the span of just five days, the 2025 second-round pick has found the end zone five times - with a two-score showing against the Buccaneers on Sunday followed up by another impactful showing on primetime TV against the Jets Thursday night. Thrust into a featured role on offense with lead back Rhamondre Stevenson still sidelined with a toe injury, Henderson thrived as the Patriots' spark plug on offense."
Drake Maye deflected MVP chants after a primetime game, crediting teammate Treveyon Henderson for the noise. Henderson, a 2025 second-round pick from Ohio State, scored five touchdowns in five days and stepped into a featured role with lead back Rhamondre Stevenson sidelined by a toe injury. Henderson rushed for two first-half touchdowns and caught a third-quarter TD from Maye in a 27-14 win over the Jets. He became the second Patriots rookie ever with a three-touchdown game, joining Rob Gronkowski (2010). The Patriots improved to 9-2 with an eight-game win streak.
