Drake Maye Makes Playoff History

Drake Maye has put together a postseason run that hasn’t been done before.

The Patriots quarterback became the first player to win three playoff games in a single postseason against defenses ranked in the top five in total defense. That kind of challenge usually slows even veteran quarterbacks. Instead, Maye handled it with calm and consistency.

He showed strong decision-making, avoided costly mistakes, and delivered in key moments when the pressure was highest. Each win came against an elite defense designed to stop offenses like his, which makes the achievement stand out even more.

For New England, this run points to a promising future. For Maye, it’s an early sign that the playoffs aren’t too big for him and that he can perform at his best when the stakes are highest.
