FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots might be dreading what awaits on Monday when it comes to the film review after their 24-23 win over the Falcons. New England still managed to come away with a victory on Sunday at Gillette Stadium, but the Patriots whiffled on multiple chances to deliver a knockout blow against the Falcons — letting them hang... Even with Drake Maye getting knocked for two turnovers — directly leading to 10 Atlanta points — and New England’s defense running into issues with both generating pressure (one sack against Michael Penix Jr.)... New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has with no doubt, won new head coach Mike Vrabel’s confidence, but for Vrabel, it long preceded the 9-2 start.

“I came here because of the familiarity. I came here because of Drake,” Vrabel told the Amazon postgame show crew via NBC Sports Boston. “I knew what he would be, and it was important for me to come here. And that’s someone I wanted to coach. And so building a program is about that. It’s about putting great people around your really good players.

That’s what Drake is for us.” Maye carved up the New York Jets defense in a 27-14 win on Thursday, the team’s eighth-straight. It led to chants of MVP from the crowd, a fan base that once saw Patriots legend Tom Brady dominate the league for two decades and win three regular season MVPs. Maye was part of that postgame conversation with Amazon, and he expressed his appreciation of Vrabel, who came in and re-tooled the Patriots after back-to-back 4-13 seasons. Vrabel once played for the Patriots during the Brady era, and Vrabel went on to coach the Tennessee Titans before his current position. “It means the world.

It goes both ways,” Maye said. “I can’t thank coach enough for what he’s done, what he’s gonna do for my career, for my life. He brings it every day. He said this, and he’ll text me later tonight about something I could have done better in the game. He’s constant, he’s awesome, and we love playing for him. I love playing for him.”

There were a lot of subplots leading into the New England Patriots' trip to Nashville to take on the Titans. The now 1-6 Tennessee Titans fired their head coach, Brian Callahan, on Monday after a dismal start to the season. Six days later, the man who reshaped their franchise by getting them to an AFC Championship and winning a Coach of the Year award, only to be fired, would return. Week 7 was a revenge game of sorts for Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. It was the kind of game that any player or coach would brush off in the press, not to add fuel to the fire, but everyone knows that Vrabel would secretly hope his team... Quarterback Drake Maye had himself an afternoon, going 21 of 23 for 222 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, and he even rushed for 66 yards (43 of which were in the first...

One would think that in the post-game locker room speech, Maye would get the game ball for another impressive Sunday afternoon. Turns out the team had a plot twist to throw at their coach. Mike Vrabel is only 11 regular-season games into Year 1 as head coach of the New England Patriots, and the culture shift in Foxboro has already been seismic. We might’ve found out the real reason why following the Patriots’ 27-14 rout of the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. Vrabel has spoken a lot about building a program this year, and he’s accomplished that feat in short order. His Patriots improved to 9-2, pushed their winning streak to eight games, and now sit alone atop the AFC standings ahead of Sunday’s Week 11 slate.

Fans who stayed up late for the TNF postgame show learned why Vrabel — who also interviewed with the Jets in early January — wanted to return to New England to coach the Patriots. Contrary to popular belief, it goes beyond his personal relationship with owner Robert Kraft, or even the three Super Bowl banners he helped raise in Gillette Stadium as a player.

He was joined on the set by his head coach — and even Maye couldn’t have expected what came next.

So it took everybody, but he’s leading the charge and that meant something to do that.” Robert Kraft then handed him the game ball in the locker room, earning a huge cheer from the staff.

Joy is authentic. Joy comes from these guys caring about each other, being happy for the guy next to them that made a play. FOXBOROUGH - Drake Maye looked terrific in Wednesday’s joint practice against Washington. During Friday night’s 48-18 rout of the Commanders, not so much.
