FOXBOROUGH, MA — Time is a flat circle.

The New England Patriots have one of the best quarterbacks in the league and sit atop the AFC. The dynastic days are in the rearview mirror, but a new era of Patriot hegemony could be dawning.

Perhaps that’s an overreaction to the Pats’ 33-15 demolition of the New York Giants on “Monday Night Football.” The final extended the Patriots’ winning streak to 10 and did the same to the Giants’ losing streak, which now stands at seven. Beyond the box score, of course, are winners and losers. Let’s dive into it all.

The second-year quarterback has an effortlessness delivery that makes everything look easier than it is. The intermediate balls are feathered. The ones that need zip have the proper amount. Even the simple looks impressive.

In the first half, Maye was 16-for-20 with 208 passing yards and two touchdowns while averaging 10.4 yards per attempt. He finished 24-for-31 with 274 yards (he has not yet surpassed 300 yards passing despite his dynamite season).
