Drake Maye shines as Patriots beat Giants to move to 11-2

QuarterbackDrake Maye and the New England Patriots are still rolling.

Maye played great in a 33-15 win over the New York Giants on Monday night. He completed 24 of 31 passes for 282 yards, threw 2 touchdown passes, and had no interceptions. With the win, the Patriots are now 11-2, the best record in the NFL, as they head into their bye week.

If the Patriots beat the Bills after the break, they will win the AFC East, ending Buffalo’s run of five straight division titles. The last team besides Buffalo to win the division was the 2019 Patriots.

Maye said the bye week came at the right time. He leads the NFL with 3,412 passing yards and is the only qualified quarterback completing over 70% of his passes this season.

This win was even more impressive because the Patriots were missing several key players, including two starting offensive linemen and multiple defensive tackles.

The Patriots started fast. They kicked a field goal on the first drive, then Marcus Jones returned a punt 94 yards for a touchdown. Soon after, a big hit by linebacker Christian Elliss fired up the team, and they quickly scored again to lead 17-0 at the end of the first quarter.

With the victory, the Patriots’ chances of finishing as the No. 1 seed in the AFC rose from 37% to 46%, according to ESPN.

Maye’s two touchdown passes — one to Kayshon Boutte and one to Kyle Williams — were perfectly thrown. This was his sixth game completing at least 75% of his passes and throwing two touchdowns, tying Matt Ryan (2016) for the third-most in a season. Only Tom Brady (2007) and Jared Goff (2024) have more, and both Brady and Ryan won MVP in those years.

Maye said he wants to lead the offense and take responsibility. He is now the favorite to win NFL MVP, according to DraftKings.

Receiver Stefon Diggs said Maye is playing with confidence. Coach Mike Vrabel added that Maye understands how important he is to the offense and the whole team.

The Patriots have now won 10 games in a row. They will host the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 14, then visit the Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 21

Seahawks trounce Vikings, climb into NFC West tie

The Seattle Seahawks’ strong defense crushed the struggling Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, winning 26–0. Why it matters: This was the Seahawks’ first shutout since they beat the Chicago Bears in 2015, according to the Associated Press. What happened: Sam Darnold and the rest of Seattle’s offense didn’t do much, but they didn’t need to. The defense did enough to secure another win and keep the team tied with the Rams for first place in the NFC West. 😭 Editor’s note: I’ve been a Vikings fan for a long time, and watching them fall apart is tough. We really miss Darnold. And yes… I still haven’t gotten over the Seahawks beating the Vikings in the freezing 2016 playoff game, when kicker Blair Walsh missed a 27-yard field goal with only 26 seconds left. related queries: Vikings vs Seahawks Minnesota Vikings Seattle Seahawks Vikings game Seahawks game MN Vikings Seahawks vs Vikings highlights Vikings quarterback Seahawks quarterback Minnesota Vikings vs Seatt...

The Dart Problem: How the Giants Plan to Safeguard Their Future Star QB

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In Eli Manning’s first NFL game in 2004, he learned quickly how different the league was from college. On the last play of the game, he tried to scramble, misread the field, and was crushed by Eagles defender Jerome McDougle. The hit sent him flying and caused a fumble. “That was my ‘Welcome to the NFL’ moment,” Manning later said. His dad, Archie, joked afterward, “I thought he was dead.” Eli realized right away that things he could do at Ole Miss didn’t work in the NFL. Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is learning the same lesson — but slower, and with more pain. In his seventh start, Dart suffered a concussion against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 9. It was the fourth time in eight games he needed to be checked for a concussion, stretching back to the preseason. That hit, on his sixth designed run of the game, was the breaking point for head coach Brian Daboll. Dart has missed two games since then. He’s expected to return Monday night against the Patrio...
