New Delhi, Dec. 29 -- The New England Patriots are surging in the 2025 NFL season, and sophomore quarterback Drake Maye is at the heart of it. In a dominant Week 17 performance against the New York Jets, Maye threw four touchdown passes in the first half, leading to a commanding 35-3 halftime lead. This feat hadn't been accomplished by a Patriots QB since Tom Brady did it over a decade ago.

On December 28, 2025, at MetLife Stadium, Drake Maye showcased precision and poise. He completed 17 of 19 passes for 229 yards and four touchdowns before halftime. Receivers like Austin Hooper, Rhamondre Stevenson, Stefon Diggs, and Hunter Henry all found the end zone.
