It was a night to remember for Drake Maye and the New England Patriots for multiple reasons.
Before we even get to the game itself, it's been a while since the Patriots, formerly an annual Super Bowl contender for a stretch of 20 years, hadn't competed in a playoff game since 2021. It's been even longer since playoff football graced the field at Foxboro Stadium, as the last home playoff game for the Patriots occurred in 2019.
Now, it appears that order has been restored in New England, as Maye and the Patriots found a way to secure a 16-3 victory on Sunday night.
