As the race for the AFC East’s No. 1 spot continues heating up, Drake Maye used Dec. 14, 2025’s head-to-head to show that he was quite prepared for anything quickness-related. Overwhelming in his blend of speed and vision, New England’s up-and-coming star tallied two touchdown runs in Week 15’s opening quarter, headlined by a game-opening sideline score on a creative option design. The Buffalo Bills found a way to survive the Patriots’ early-game avalanche in a 35-31 result, but even in defeat, Maye was noteworthy, throwing for 155 yards (on 14-of-23 passing) to complement his 43-yard, two-score showing on the ground.
