drake maye warns patriots amid tom brady style win streak

The New England Patriots have won three in a row to match their entire win total from last season, just six games into the 2025 campaign, but quarterback Drake Maye only has one thing... It’s something Patriots great Tom Brady might have said. Maye, who was efficiency personified during the 25-19 win over the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday, October 12, told reporters “We’ve got more work to do but it feels good... That’s a warning of sorts to his teammates not to get too far ahead of themselves. Maye doubled down on those words of caution by bluntly telling the media, including Graff, “Let’s go get win No. 5.

Last year is in the past.” It makes sense not to make too much of equalling 2024’s entries into the win column. After all, the Pats made just four of them, but winning three-straight this year feels different. What it feels like is an endorsement of Maye’s status as a would-be franchise quarterback. He strengthened his case for justifying such lofty status by helping the Patriots do something they haven’t done since Brady, arguably the greatest to ever play football’s most important position, was at the controls,... He has put together a type of winning streak that even Tom Brady never did for the New England Patriots.

The feat: It's the first time the Patriots have won three consecutive weeks on the road in the regular season since 1961, according to ESPN. And to be clear, this is about the three weeks back-to-back-to-back. The Patriots won in Buffalo in Week 5, in New Orleans in Week 6 and have now won in Nashville against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. MORE: Patrick Mahomes fooled the Raiders in the most NSFW way imaginable Of course, New England has had a longer streak of winning road games, including in an undefeated regular season under Tom Brady. But that team never had to play three of those road games in consecutive weeks like this.

Julian Edelman likes what he’s seen from the Patriots and Drake Maye of late. The Super Bowl LIII MVP hasn’t shied away from criticizing his former team early in the season. But he gave them their flowers on Sunday. “The Patriots are for real, and I’m very critical of this team. The last four weeks, all you’ve seen is nothing but improvement,” Edelman said on FOX prior to New England’s game against the Cleveland Browns. “They had some fumble issues early on in the season.

They’ve kind of tapered that off. Drake Maye has been playing elite. He’s got three to five throws that just wow you. But he’s also hitting his layups. We haven’t seen an offense like that in New England since (Tom Brady) was there." The improvement continued in Week 8 as Maye and the Patriots offense put up 32 points against a Browns defense that was the NFL’s best.

Maye went 18-of-24 for 282 yards and three touchdowns in the 32-13 blowout over Cleveland. The performance earned him “MVP!” chants from those in attendance at Gillette Stadium. The New England Patriots came into the 2025 NFL season with the expectation that they had found their quarterback of the future in Drake Maye. Earning a Pro Bowl nod as an alternate in his rookie season, Maye had shown flashes of excellence in his debut campaign. As a result, the organization went all in on trying to build the roster around him to ensure that success could follow in his sophomore season. Through seven weeks, it is hard to argue that the attempt could have gone any better than it already has.

Thanks to some electric performances, he has the Patriots at the top of the AFC East with a 5-2 record, surpassing even the Buffalo Bills with MVP Josh Allen. Earning some MVP buzz of his own, his performance in Week 7 was legitimately history-making as he accomplished a feat that even Tom Brady couldn’t during his time in New England. The statistical production from Maye to begin the year has been unparalleled. After a rough first week performance against the Las Vegas Raiders, he has truly come into his own as an elite talent. In the six games since, he has had a minimum of 200 or more passing yards, with a passer rating above 100. Against Tennessee, he took that up a notch by registering a passer rating of 135.9, while throwing for 222 yards and two touchdowns.

However, it wasn’t the statistical production that truly made Maye stand out above Brady. Instead, he beat the seven-time Super Bowl champion at the thing he was the greatest at: winning. Drake Maye continued an encouraging start with another methodical performance on Sunday. The second-year quarterback led the New England Patriots to a 42-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. Maye made every throw count, completing 14 of 17 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns alongside his second rushing touchdown of the 2025 season. NFL Media’s Jack Andrade noted after the Week 4 triumph that Maye extended a notable streak.

He’s now completed at least 75 percent of his passes and thrown two passing touchdowns in three straight games. Patriots fans will especially like the next part. Tom Brady is the only quarterback to meet those barometers in four straight games, and he did so to start New England’s 16-0 season in 2007. Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Kurt Warner are among the other signal-callers who reached those marks in three straight games, and they all won MVP honors that season.

Second-year quarterback Drake Maye helped the New England Patriots produce a five-game winning streak that has fans believing he can be the long-term successor to Tom Brady that the Patriots have been searching for... During a recent chat with Patriots legend and current Fox personality Rob Gronkowski that the club shared on Monday, Maye opened up about dealing with the pressure that comes with following in Brady's footsteps. "Just trying to be myself," Maye explained, per Mike Kadlick of Sports Illustrated. "Don't try to be 'the greatest of all time.' I think the biggest thing is, I just respect it.

Respect what [Brady] did for the game. Watching the old tape is one of my favorite things to do. Do a little Gronk pass, or hitting the seam down the middle. I was sitting there watching the Hall of Fame speech last year, [with Brady] talking about, 'No shortcuts.' Just trying to pull what I can from him and appreciate his greatness." Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and first-year head coach Mike Vrabel gave Maye homework during the offseason that involved the 23-year-old studying how Brady played in McDaniels' offense. Maye has since emerged as a legitimate Most Valuable Player Award candidate who helped the 6-2 Patriots climb to the top of the AFC East standings.

Per Pro Football Reference, Maye ended Week 8 of the season leading the NFL among qualified players with a 118.7 passer rating and a 75.2 percent completion percentage. According to StatMuse, he began Tuesday ranked third in the league with a combined 2,276 passing and rushing yards on the campaign. Only three players tallied more combined passing and rushing touchdowns than Maye (17) over the season's first eight weeks. Drake Maye has thrown himself into MVP contention and turned the New England Patriots into playoff contender - have they finally found their answer to life without Tom Brady?; watch the Patriots take on...

The New England Patriots have been working on cloning a goat, the goat. Sure, Drake Maye is no goat, nor a dog. A dawg, perhaps. And while he is no clone of the seven-time Super Bowl champion governing the 'greatest of all time' debate, he may well be the desperately-yearned long-term answer to a quarterback void that could never... But behind Maye, the Patriots are relevant again, dangerous again, and contenders again. New England sit tied at the top of the NFL with a 7-2 record, head coach Mike Vrabel fulfilling expectations as the perfect man to kickstart the post-Bill Belichick era after a flawed Jerod...
