"Just a little bit of runny nose, little bit of cough," the quarterback said during his weekly appearance on WEEI. "But shoot, we battle the elements and came out with the win. That's what mattered."
The win helped New England clinch its first AFC East title since 2019. The team was on the bus back to Foxborough when the Buffalo Bills ' failed two-point conversion in the final seconds lifted the Philadelphia Eagles to a win and the Patriots to a division championship.
Maye went 19-of-21 for 256 yards and five touchdowns in the 42-10 win as he continued to build his case for MVP .
The Patriots wrap up the regular season at Gillette Stadium against the Miami Dolphins before they host a playoff game. It's unclear who their opponent will be, but it will be decided by the end of Week 18.
