That aspect of Henry's offense was seldom more clearly manifested than in the 26-20 away win against the Cincinnati Bengals. In that tilt, Henry provided seven receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown. It was his first 100-yard receiving game this season, and it couldn't have come at a better time for his team. Hunter Henry is consistently good for Drake Maye and the Patriots
Both the Rams and Patriots are likely going to be at or near the top of their respective conferences, so both of them have their total team success working in their favor. Every statistical edge might be enough to swing the debate one way or another. Stafford will have the edge (in all likelihood) in touchdown passes, TD/INT ratio, and his pedigree. Maye is likely going to beat him out in passer rating, completion percentage, and yards per attempt, even if he is a bit more turnover prone than No. 9 is.
Throughout the 2024 offseason, it was clear the New England Patriots were going to use the third-overall selection in the upcoming NFL Draft on a quarterback. After the failed experiment with Mac Jones, whom the team picked in the first round in 2021, it was time to find the next franchise quarterback after Tom Brady, and they were fortunate to have a list of options in their grasp.
The New England Patriots have found their quarterback, and that's now abundantly clear. Nonetheless, Jayden Daniels' Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign last season was something spectacular: he totaled 31 total touchdowns to just 9 interceptions to go along with over 3,500 yards through the air, with nearly 900 more coming on the ground. This all came with a 69% completion rate.
"Quite a bit. I'd say his confidence," McDaniels said. "He was very well aware of his standing but he also wanted to go out there and win and kind of bring that along with him. I think it's a lot easier to lead when you've had success and you've been a significant contributor to that."
The Washington Commanders have mercifully reached their bye week after six consecutive losses, and a myriad of injuries have derailed a once-promising season. The Commanders have had to face several uncomfortable truths in 2025. The roster Adam Peters assembled is old and slow. Their young pieces are not progressing as expected. And last season's success was a perfect storm of positive vibes with minimal adversity.
The 2025 NFL season has created many new Patriots fans across the league, particularly due to the rise of second-year quarterback Drake Maye. Although many outside New England are not exactly thrilled that the once-immortal team appears to have found their new franchise player, it's hard not to root for the humble North Carolina alum, which now includes even Tom Brady.
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."
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New York Jets come into Thursday's game riding a two-game winning streak, and they are tasked with trying to prevent the New England Patriots, who are on a seven-game winning streak themselves, from ending the night with the NFL's best record. The Jets (2-7) and Patriots (8-2) are having a polar opposite season as they head into this Week 11 matchup.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is coming off a stirring road win over Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in which he had his lowest completion rate of the season (16 of 31, 51.6 percent), struggled early throwing a wet football, and yet enhanced his NFL Most Valuable Player candidacy with some sensational and clutch throws in a 28-23 victory, most notably a 54-yard bomb to Mack Hollins on a third-and-14 play in the fourth quarter.
