Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Drake Maye flaunted his live arm, muscling pinpoint passes around and over the New York Giants defense to deliver the 10th consecutive win to the New England Patriots.
The second-year quarterback improved his MVP candidacy with two touchdown tosses in the 33-15 victory Monday in Foxborough. The Patriots, who never trailed, out-gained the Giants by more than 150 yards.
"It started with coach saying 'no naps,'" Maye told reporters. "We want to come out here and start fast. We knew that team had been up in a lot of games. ... We wanted to try to get on them fast."
That objective was fulfilled in the first quarter, with the Patriots taking a 17-0 lead. They added to their lead with 13 more points in the second to carry a 30-7 advantage into halftime.
"We came out ready to go," Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said. "We focused on being aggressive and attacking and keeping that mindset. I think we did."
