FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quarterback Drake Maye strengthened his position as the favorite to win the NFL's MVP award with another impressive performance, as the New England Patriots' turnaround continued with a 27-14 win over the visiting... The Patriots have won eight games in a row, breaking a tie with the Denver Broncos for the league's longest current winning streak. After finishing 4-13 in each of the past two seasons, the Patriots are just the fourth team in the past 25 years to win nine of their first 11 games after having four or... Though such a reversal has taken many by surprise, that isn't the case for Maye, who completed his first 11 passes and finished 25-of-34 for 281 yards with 1 TD and 0 INTs. "I don't think anything has surprised me," Maye said.

"When you put the work in, and we have good players and good coaches, you are going to get a result that you want." Over the past 20 years, Maye became just the fourth quarterback in his first or second NFL season to lead his team to eight straight victories and have his team score at least 20... Dallas' Dak Prescott (10 straight in 2016), Philadelphia's Carson Wentz (nine straight in 2017) and Baltimore's Lamar Jackson (eight straight in 2019) were the others. The chants were loud at Gillette Stadium on Thursday night as Drake Maye helped lead the New England Patriots to the team's ninth win of the season. And with that, the Patriots hold the best record in the NFL, sitting at 9-2. But, no matter how loud the chants are, Maye has continued to stay humble and never shows any signs that they are getting to him.

After each and every game, he is critical of things he can do better while hyping up his teammates for their efforts. And that's exactly what he did after the Week 11 primetime win when asked how it feels to get those "MVP" chants. "Yeah, may have been for TreVeyon (Henderson) tonight," Maye said with a smile. "He scored three touchdowns." But then, he also took a moment to give love to the fans. The Patriots are 9-2, holding the best record in the NFL after Thursday night's 27-14 victory over the AFC East division rival Jets.

The developmental leap of second-year quarterback Drake Maye bears much of the credit for New England's success this season. He was phenomenal again on Thursday, completing 25 of his 34 passing attempts for 281 yards and a touchdown in the win. Much like he last Sunday in Tampa from a Patriots-heavy road crowd, Maye received "MVP" chants as he exited his home field in Foxborough on Thursday night. On Sunday, Maye deflected, saying the MVP chants may have been for Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield. Thursday night, Maye deflected his success again and complimented rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson in the process. "Those may have been for TreVeyon tonight.

I mean, he scored three touchdowns. Our fans have been great with me since I got here...just appreciate them for embracing me. I'm just trying to embrace this city and give these fans, this team, myself...just leave it all out there and give it everything I got." #Patriots QB Drake Maye on receiving MVP chants:“Those may have been for TreVeyon tonight. I mean, he scored 3 touchdowns. Our fans have been great with me since I got here… Just appreciate them for embracing me.

[I’m] just trying to embrace this city.”(🎥 @Patriots) pic.twitter.com/jwOqaceQvY FOXBORO — Before Thursday’s game even kicked off, the chants began echoing around Gillette Stadium. They continued for the next three-plus hours, through the Patriots’ three touchdown drives, their game-clinching kneeldowns and their second-year quarterback’s victorious jog toward the locker room. They drowned out the audio on Amazon Prime’s postgame show, even as their target did his best to downplay them. They were chanting, of course, for Drake Maye, who boosted his legitimate MVP candidacy with another standout performance in a 27-14 victory over the Jets. In the first primetime home game of his young career, Maye completed 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards and one touchdown with no turnovers to lead 9-2 New England to its eighth consecutive...

“He’s playing at an elite level right now,” rookie left tackle Will Campbell said. “I’m biased, but I think he’s the best player in the NFL. There’s no game that we’re out of when we have him. Even how good of a player he is, he’s an even better person, and an even better teammate. That just makes it that much cooler. To be able to share the huddle and in the locker room, and be friends with somebody like that.

I just look forward to the future, to continue to play with him, and grow with him. As we all continue to grow in this offense, he’s got everything in front of him now. I’m super excited to be a part of it.” Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had another huge performance Sunday, throwing for 282 yards and three touchdowns in a victory over the Browns.

— Drake Maye claimed he didn’t hear the chants. He claimed his teammates were too busy busting his chops in the huddle over an awkward slide. He acted like it was totally normal for most of the fans in the stadium to be proclaiming their appreciation for New England’s second-year quarterback through those three letters. But here’s the thing. Maye is making absurd things commonplace with the Patriots again. In a stretch of incredible games, his latest performance might’ve been the best yet.

That’s because Sunday was when Maye’s hot start was supposed to cool off a bit. The Cleveland Browns had the best defense in the league. Their defensive line is absurd. Some regression would have been natural. Instead, Maye shook off a slow start to put together another MVP-caliber performance in a 32-13 rout of the Browns, completing 18 of 24 passes for 282 yards (while adding another 50 on the... His play is the biggest reason the Patriots are 6-2, have won five straight (the longest active winning streak in the NFL) and sit atop the AFC East.
