- Drake Maye remains in MVP hunt, but his heart is set on something bigger
FOXBOROUGH - Drake Maye has been considered an MVP frontrunner, as well as one of the top contenders in the mix for the prestigious award.
With the Patriots putting together a 10-game win streak, being in first in the AFC East, it comes with the territory.

Sunday’s loss to the Bills, however, where he admittedly didn’t have his best game (14-for-23, 155 yards), likely dropped him a peg with voters. But there’s still three games left for Maye to continue to state his case.
Asked Wednesday if he cared much about winning that award, Maye offered his perspective on individual accomplishments.
“The MVP is obviously one of the big accolades,” Maye said. “It’s an honor as a player to earn that award. And I respect all the past MVPs. But at the end of the day, winning the Super Bowl is the biggest thing.
“What makes this league go is winning the big one. That’s what this team is about. I love winning. Personal accolades come with all that. I’d rather win than get personal awards.”

Currently, the MVP appears to be a 3-man race between three quarterbacks: LA Rams’ Matthew Stafford, Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Maye.
Also in the mix are Green Bay’s Jordan Love, Cleveland’s Myles Garrett, the LA Chargers Justin Herbert and Denver’s Bo Nix.
