Across those three seasons, the Pats were battling to stay out of last place in the AFC East each season. But now the franchise seems to have turned a corner, with Maye leading the charge.
Maye is a leading contender to win the league MVP in his incredible sophomore season. On the year, he’s thrown for 2,555 yards on a 71.7 percent completion rate while also tossing 19 touchdowns with just five interceptions.
The 23-year-old is quickly ascending the ranks. He is now the eighth quarterback to win eight games aged 23 or younger, joining Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Kyle Orton, Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson, and Lamar Jackson.
Henderson heaped praise on his quarterback and gave insight into the secret behind Maye’s exceptional play. Speaking on Prime Video, he said: “He’s a baller, and he’s a great leader.

“But the biggest thing is he’s humble. He comes in to work each and every day, and he pushes everyone around him. I’m thankful to be playing alongside him.”
Henderson praised the work of his offensive line as he scored on a pair of seven-yard rushing touchdowns to go with a six-yard receiving touchdown. He declared: “Them first two touchdowns, all my offensive linemen, I gotta give those guys credit. They make my job easier.
“Those guys put in the dirty work, and so I really give the credit to those guys. I’m really thankful to be playing alongside those guys and running behind those guys.”
