NFL analysts and experts might eventually run out of superlatives when describing New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.
Amid a stunning possible MVP season, Maye earned two more titles from ESPN NFL writer Matt Bowen on Wednesday.
The former safety listed the “best NFL players at 109 different skills,” opining that the Patriots signal-caller had the “best touch and timing” and “best pocket poise” in the league.
“Maye can put touch on the ball to find open voids versus zone coverage. Plus, Maye will deliver a ‘runner’s ball’ to beat man schemes. On throws of 10 to 20 air yards,...

New England Patriots fans at Gillette Stadium were fired up on Monday night. The Patriots dominated the entire game, crushing the New York Giants 33-15 for their 10th straight win.
Drake Maye turned in another outstanding performance, completing 24 of his 31 pass attempts for 282 yards and two touchdowns — including this highlight reel throw to Kyle Williams. He also rushed six times for 12 yards.
New England fans responded by showering Maye with MVP chants, which is becoming a weekly occurrence in Foxborough.
During his WEEI radio appearance on Tuesday afternoon, Maye was asked what he thinks of...

The New England Patriots had multiple jaw-dropping plays on both sides of the ball during their 33-15 win over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. From Marcus Jones’ 94-yard punt return touchdown to all of the bone-crushing hits on defense, there was no shortage of exciting moments at Gillette Stadium.
One came late in the second quarter with the Patriots up 17-7 and three and a half minutes remaining in the half. On third and eight from the Giants’ 33-yard line, Drake Maye dropped back and fired a perfect bomb to rookie receiver Kyle Williams in the front...

The New England Patriots are 11-2 heading into their bye week, and a big reason for their success has been the play of second-year quarterback Drake Maye. As a result of Maye’s sudden star turn, his popularity has skyrocketed, and that has led to the creation of a nickname that one of his teammates, Kayshon Boutte, does not understand.
In the blink of an eye, Maye has become one of the most popular players in the NFL. His humble demeanor, combined with his stellar play on the field (3,412 passing yards, 25 total touchdowns), has helped endear him to many...

If NFL fans ever want to nitpick Tom Brady’s legendary career, perhaps the only way to do so is pointing to TB12’s two Super Bowl loss vs. the New York Giants.
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye still has a long way to go to even be put in the same breath as Brady, but the team’s current signal-caller did lead the group to a decisive win against the Giants on Monday in his first official test against Big Blue.
Maye earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors on Wednesday for his performance vs. New York in Week 13...

The New England Patriots picked up a 33-15 win over the New York Giants in Week 13, and with another strong outing in the books, second-year quarterback Drake Maye‘s star profile has only continued to rise.
Considering how he has emerged as the MVP frontrunner this season, it’s safe to say that Maye has been stellar throughout the year. That was particularly true against the Giants, as he completed 24 of his 31 pass attempts for 282 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 12 yards on six carries.
It feels like this is almost becoming a common sort...

New England Patriots left tackle Will Campbell is currently on injured reserve due to a knee ailment, but ESPN still ranked the No. 4 overall pick among the best rookies in the NFL on Wednesday.
The panel of NFL analysts and reporters placed Campbell 10th on their list after he just missed the cut in the rankings after Week 6.
“Campbell is expected to be on injured reserve until at least Week 18 with a knee sprain. But at least some of quarterback Drake Maye’s MVP push can be attributed to how well the rookie left tackle has performed,” Jeff...

On the heels of the New England Patriots’ 10th consecutive win, Drake Maye has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the first time.
The 23-year-old team captain got the call on Wednesday after completing 24-of-31 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Giants. To go with a 126.0 passer rating, he marked the lone quarterback around the NFL to complete more than 75 percent of his passes while also throwing for more than 260 yards in Week 13.
Those marks were reached in the red throwbacks during what became a 33-15 victory at...

Two of the most important men in New England Patriots franchise history are one hurdle away from induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As was announced on Wednesday, longtime head coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft are finalists for the 2026 class.
Belichick and Kraft are the only finalists in the respective coach and contributor categories. Joining them on the ballot are senior players Ken Anderson, Roger Craig and L.C. Greenwood.
Former Patriots wide receivers Stanley Morgan and Henry Ellard as well as executive Francis “Bucko” Kilroy failed to pass this latest round of cuts.
In order...

After consecutive offseasons with top-5 picks in the NFL draft, the New England Patriots won’t have the same fate following Mike Vrabel’s first season.
That’s a good thing.
Instead, the postseason-bound Patriots are likely to be picking where playoff teams routinely do. Perhaps they’ll even pick where true Super Bowl contenders do.
NFL draft expert Dane Brugler on Wednesday released his first mock draft of the cycle where the Patriots hold the 32nd overall pick in the first round. That’s when the Super Bowl champion will be on the clock, though this time around it’s based on current records —...

The New England Patriots are 11-2 heading into their bye week in Week 14, and they have had to weather a storm of injuries over the past few games. While the injury bug hasn’t led to this team’s ongoing win streak coming to an end yet, it could become an issue moving forward.
Two of the Pats’ most important players, defensive tackle Milton Williams and left tackle Will Campbell, find themselves on injured reserve currently, which has forced Mike Vrabel and the coaching staff to get creative when it comes to filling out the depth chart.
Beyond them, guys like...

No turkey hangover for these Patriots. New England quickly put the New York Giants in a tryptophan funk after the visitors came out flat and the Patriots defense kept them flat all game long. LB Christian Elliss was flying around hitting everything in sight, old-school style. Hard not to love the full-pop energy, especially after a week of the media warning of a tough Giants pass rush vs. an injury-hamstrung offensive line. The ‘trap game’ flag was flying but the Pats grabbed it, throttled it, and lit it on fire. Next up they hit the Bye Week hard at 11-2...
