There hasn't been much to get excited about in New England over the last few years regarding their quarterback situation. Mac Jones uplifted what had been a depressing time after Tom Brady left in 2020, but that only lasted one season until the quarterback room was in absolute chaos once again.
Luckily, the Jerod Mayo era yielded one good thing, and that was the selection of Drake Maye in the first round of last year's draft. Despite only starting 16 games as of the win over the Panthers, the young quarterback is already proving to be exactly what the team has been looking for over the last five years, and he further proved that on Sunday with a nearly perfect performance.
