In the eyes of many, Drake Maye’s 273-yard performance in the Patriots’ upset win over the Bills in Week 5 served as a coming-out party. In fact, the performance elevated Maye’s quarterback ranking.
Out of the six notable publications and outlets that rank the quarterbacks on a weekly basis, Maye was ranked as either the 10th-best or 11th-best quarterback in all of them. Four placed the Patriots quarterback at No. 10 (NFL.com, Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports, The Athletic), while two ranked him at No. 11 (The Ringer, CBS Sports).
