Key Highlights
- In just his second season, Maye has delivered a campaign so spectacular it has shattered franchise records and placed him squarely in the NFL MVP discussion.
- He finished the 2025 season having thrown for 4,394 yards, compiling 31 touchdowns against just eight interceptions, and led the league with a remarkable 72.0% completion rate and a 113.5 passer rating, establishing New England as one of the NFL's elite offensive forces. The Patriots finished the 2025 season 14-3, tied for the best record in the NFL, and are now prepping for a deep postseason run in their first appearance since 2021.
- First up is another star signal-caller Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Foxboro. The sheer volume of Maye’s success has meant that the critical conversations which once dominated Foxborough — namely, who would step up if the franchise quarterback went down — have been largely relegated to the margins.
- Yet, the truth remains: a deep playoff run relies on more than just one star, and the security provided by the names behind Maye on the depth chart is a factor every contender must possess. Here's the entire Patriots quarterback depth chart.
