Is Drake Maye on the Verge of Legendary Status? His Latest Streak Suggests He Might Be
Alright, let’s cut to the chase — Drake Maye’s season has been nothing short of extraordinary. Here’s the kicker: this kid is tossing the pigskin with a level of precision and consistency that places him in a rarefied air alongside legends like Rodgers, Brady, Manning, and Mahomes. Yep, you read that right. According to some intriguing NBC Sports research, Maye’s pulled off seven straight games with at least 200 passing yards and a passer rating north of 100 — a feat only four players have managed, and each one snagged the NFL MVP in the process. If Maye replicates this magic against the Falcons, he’ll etch his name as the youngest ever to string together eight such performances in a row. At just 23 years old! On top of all this, the Patriots sit comfortably at 6-2 — and with just a couple more W’s, they’ll equal their combined wins from the past two seasons. Talk about momentum!

How well is Patriots quarterback Drake Maye playing this year?
Here’s something that puts it all in perspective. Via NBC Sports research, Maye is one of only five players to ever throw for 200 or more yards with a passer rating of 100 or higher in seven straight games in a single season.
The others were Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Patrick Mahomes. Each won the NFL MVP award during the season in which they accomplished that feat.
If Maye does it again on Sunday against the Falcons, he’ll be one of four to do it eight games in a row. The others are Rodgers (twice), Brady, and Manning.
At 23, Maye would be the youngest to ever do it.
More importantly, Maye’s Patriots are 6-2. With two more wins this season, they’ll match their win total for 2023 and 2024, combined.
