"When New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye took off on a 28-yard run late in the third quarter of a 32-13 victory over the visiting Cleveland Browns on Sunday, fans began chanting "MVP! MVP! MVP!" When Maye connected with wide receiver Kayshon Boutte on a beautiful deep ball for a 39-yard touchdown on the next play, those chants grew that much louder."
"Maye was 18-of-24 for 282 yards and three touchdowns with one interception against the Browns, while adding seven rushes for 50 yards. His performance helped turn a 9-7 halftime lead into a rout, as his three third-quarter scoring strikes marked the first time a Patriots quarterback threw for three TDs in a quarter since Tom Brady on Dec. 9, 2018."
""I was joking with him last week about MVP too. He doesn't like to hear it. I think it's the truth," Boutte said of Maye, whose stellar play has helped the Patriots (6-2) win five straight games as one of the NFL's surprise teams. "We all see it. If you look around the league at the other guys, they're doing great stuff too, but I think Drake is doing everything they're doing. There's nothing he's not doing.""
Drake Maye led the New England Patriots to a 32-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns with a performance that included 18-of-24 passing for 282 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, plus seven carries for 50 yards. A 28-yard scramble and a 39-yard touchdown pass to Kayshon Boutte sparked loud MVP chants from fans. Maye's three third-quarter touchdown passes were the first instance of a Patriots quarterback throwing three TDs in a quarter since Tom Brady in 2018. The win moved the Patriots to 6-2 with a five-game winning streak and elevated Maye's MVP odds to +750.
