New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has helped rejuvenate hope for fans through the first seven weeks of the 2025 season.
Maye’s performance against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday certainly lived up to those expectations. He was 21-of-23 with 222 passing yards, two touchdown passes and a 135.9 passer rating as the Patriots won the game 31-13. He was sacked four times but didn’t turn the ball over once.

The Patriots announced after the game that Maye matched a feat by Tom Brady. The team said Maye tied Brady for most games with at least 200 passing yards, a 135 passer rating and two passing touchdowns in a single season with four.
Maye had already accomplished the feat in his second year and 20 games. Brady was well into his NFL career in 2007 when he reached the milestone. Brady hit the mark in Week 11 of that season.
