Drake Maye guided the New England Patriots to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, rallying his team from an 11-point deficit to a 28-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night that clinched a postseason spot for the Patriots and dealt a devastating blow to the Ravens’ playoff hopes.
“We’re going to try to win the division. We’re going to focus on that,” New England coach Mike Vrabel said. “I’m excited. All the credit to the players. When we win, it’s because of them.”
Seven years after Tom Brady and Bill Belichick won their final Super Bowl together in New England — and four years after Belichick reached the playoffs with Mac Jones at quarterback — the Patriots return to the postseason in Maye’s second year behind center. Maye certainly didn’t hurt his MVP case Sunday, throwing for a career-best 380 yards and two touchdowns.
