The Patriots are rolling as winners of five-straight games following a 32-13 victory over the Browns at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, and everyone is deservedly receiving their flowers for a 6-2 start. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and second-year QB Drake Maye are rightfully getting the most praise. Maye is elevating New England's offense to seventh in scoring (26.6 PPG), sixth in EPA per play (+0.11), and 11th in DVOA – basically a top-10 offense in most metrics. As for Vrabel, he certainly has his hands on his team's schemes, fundamentals, and game plans, while setting the tone for the locker room culture. Maye is currently in the early MVP discussion, and Vrabel is in the early Coach of the Year conversation, which is all deserved. That said, after watching the tape from Sunday's win, we also have to tip our caps to the job OC Josh McDaniels is doing with the Patriots offense.

Along with Maye playing at an MVP-level, McDaniels continues to unlock new dimensions to New England's offense, out-scheming DC Jim Schwartz and the Browns defense, which came into Sunday's matchup ranked fifth in DVOA. Schwartz is considered one of the best defensive coordinators in the league, while Cleveland has talented players around star DE Myles Garrett on defense, and McDaniels took them to school. On Sunday, the Browns allowed season-highs in total yards (422), first downs (23), rushing yards (177), yards per pass attempt (8.2), explosive plays (seven), and total EPA (+6.5). In the second half, Maye added +0.91 expected points per drop-back with a perfect passer rating of 158.3: 8-8, 114 yards, three touchdowns, and 34 additional yards on the ground. Although the dam didn't break until the second half for the Browns defense, McDaniels's early play-sequencing was still on point. On the Patriots opening field goal drive, New England scripted two 10-plus yard run plays.

After Further Review: Breaking Down QB Drake Maye, the Patriots Pass Defense and More in Sunday's Win Over the Bucs The Patriots are rolling as winners of seven straight games following another impressive road victory in Tampa Bay on Sunday. For all the talk about the easy schedule, QB Drake Maye just went through a three-week slate where he faced three top-15 pass defenses in EPA: the Browns (15th), Falcons (11th), and Bucs (6th). Offensively, at least, this wasn't an easy stretch. Maye came out of the mini-gauntlet with the following stat line: 63.1% completion rate, 270.3 pass YPG, 7-3 TD to INT ratio, +0.06 EPA per play. And, of course, the most important stat is three wins — not too shabby.

As for the Bucs game, my fear was that we might see one-and-run Maye with the Bucs pressure speeding up the second-year quarterback. Maye entered the game with the second-most sacks (34) and the third-highest sack rate (10.7%) among qualified quarterbacks. Given that Tampa's defense was top-10 in every meaningful pass-rush metric, it was valid to be concerned about Maye either taking sacks or not allowing plays to develop by hitting the eject button from... Instead, Maye keeps passing checkpoints with mostly sound decision-making of when to stay or leave the pocket, while throwing haymakers at an aggressive Bucs defense in the form of big plays. Despite being under pressure on 44.4% of his drop-backs, Maye was only sacked once, a 1-yard sack at that, while hitting four completions for 167 yards and a touchdown while under pressure — Maye... Breaking down Patriots quarterback Drake Maye in Week 10 against the Buccaneers.

A week after playing an aggressive Atlanta Falcons defense, things were not about to get any easier for Drake Maye down in Tampa against an aggressive, Todd Bowles-led defense. While Bowles did not dial up his usual blitz rates, Tampa Bay still got pressure on 44.4% of Maye’s drop backs Sunday. But, Maye, who entered the week second in sacks taken and has shown tendencies of taking off running in past games, stood tall in the pocket to find success. In total, Maye fired four completions for 167 yards and a touchdown while under pressure, highlighting a day that earned him more “MVP!” chants from a large Patriot fan contingent down in Tampa. While it wasn’t all perfect — including a late interception in the end zone after passing up an open receiver — the performance was enough to earn his Patriots a 28-23 victory — their... Here’s how he got those results on Sunday.
