Drake Maye's case to be the 2025 NFL MVP continues to build momentum

Drake Maye led the New England Patriots to another win in primetime on Sunday Night in Baltimore to lock up a spot in the playoffs. And this time, he did it with a career game.

This time, another comeback would be needed for Maye to secure that first playoff spot for New England in four years. The Patriots trailed 24-13 with just under 10 minutes remaining before the former UNC Football quarterback dropped an absolute dime to wide receiver Kyle Williams for a 37-yard touchdown pass.

The throw to Williams cut the deficit to five, and then Maye converted the two-point conversion with a pass to Rhamondre Stevenson to make it a field goal possession game.
