He might’ve described himself as being “fired up” after New England’s Week 1 loss, but on an 89-degree afternoon in Miami, Drake Maye played with a veteran’s cool and confidence during his do-it-all performance on Sept. 14, 2025. Following the blueprint of previous greats through a dominant showcase against his AFC East foes, Maye overwhelmed the Dolphins’ defense on both ground and air, mixing both 16-yard rainbow scores and elusive six-yard touchdown runs into the itinerary. Nearly flawless in his decision making during the Patriots’ 33-27 victory, Maye concluded with 230 yards (on 19-of-23) and two touchdowns, accompanied by a 10-carry, 31-yard, one-touchdown complement.
