Drake Maye led the Patriots to a 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday, strengthening his MVP case with a clean, efficient outing. His steady command has flipped New England’s season and energized a skeptical fanbase. Locker-room endorsements now match his stat line.
As the rookie Will Campbell put it,“I’m biased, but I think he’s the best player in the NFL. There’s no game that we are out of when we have him.”

Maye’s performance against the Jets was a model of precision and control. With that win, New England puts itself at 9-2 and extends their winning streak to a whopping eight games, a streak that’s completely upended what many thought they’d see from this team coming out of pre-season.
Their offense has somehow managed to strike just the right balance between taking the ball to the house and knowing when to play it safe. It started strong with Maye knocking off 11 consecutive completions out of the gate. It then just kept on truckin by smartly managing the pocket and giving his receivers every chance to make a play, and the result was sustained drives that eliminated the need for desperation fourth-down plays. And then there was TreVeyon Henderson, who brought some much-needed crunch-time punch to the table with three touchdowns, giving the offense some real muscle & credibility out of short-yardage situations and play-action.
That pairing of a steady passer and a finishing back explains how New England turned tight situations into scoring drives.Locker-room confidence shifted from hopeful to declarative. Will Campbell’s endorsement didn’t come as a sound bite alone; it was the byproduct of daily practice reps and late-game calm. Explained plainly: teammates see a quarterback who protects the ball and makes the right read when the game narrows. That trust short-circuits risk and forces opponents to adjust their coverages, which in turn opens up the field for others.
“MVP” chants echoed as Maye left the field. Those chants are not the award, but they are a measurable expression of momentum, a real-time crowd metric that shapes perception and, occasionally, voter memory. Media coverage and advanced metrics now align around Maye’s reliability. If he keeps this blend of efficiency and impact, the MVP argument will move from possible to probable.
Drake Maye has turned his consistency into momentum. If he maintains this blend of efficiency and ball security, then the MVP conversation will only grow louder as voters weigh outcomes over highlight reels.
