Overview
- Maye went 19-for-21 for 256 yards and five touchdowns with a 157.0 passer rating, becoming the first QB with 90% completions, 250+ yards and 5+ TDs in one game, per NFL Research.
- BetMGM lists Maye as the MVP favorite at -500 after Stafford threw three interceptions on Monday night, reflecting a sharp odds swing late in Week 17.
- New England’s 42-10 win over the Jets clinched the AFC East and capped a perfect 8-0 regular-season road record as the Patriots improved to 13-3.
- Through 16 games, Maye has 4,203 passing yards and 30 TDs, leads the NFL in completion percentage, yards per attempt and passer rating, and joins Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe with a 4,000-yard Pats season.
- Advanced metrics underscore the outing’s efficiency with a 99.8 single-game QBR and +1.28 EPA per drop-back, as analysts say he will probably win MVP even as some argue Stafford’s season-long totals.
