The Drake Maye MVP hype train got a little louder on Sunday. Maye led the New England Patriots to a 28-23 win over Baker Mayfield and the injury-riddled Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Maye threw for 270 yards and a pair of touchdowns in New England's eighth win of the regular season.

It wasn’t Drake Maye’s best statistical game, nor was it his most efficient. He completed 2 of his first 7 passes for 19 yards, sailing throws with a wet ball in the way Troy Aikman famously used to and Tom Brady never did. He threw a fourth-quarter interception that had a chance to be cost-‘em-the-game regrettable.
Tampa Bay dominated New Orleans 23-3 in their last game, before last week's bye. Baker Mayfield is having an MVP-caliber first half of the season, passing for 1,919 yards, 12 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
