Breaking News: Patrick Mahomes embarrassed on national stage as Drake Maye rewrites record books with better stats than him…see more

The New England Patriots continued their dominant streak on Sunday, edging past the Atlanta Falcons 24-23 in a thrilling finish that came down to a missed extra point.

Rookie kicker Parker Romo’s failed PAT after Michael Penix’s late touchdown left the Falcons one point short, sealing the Patriots’ sixth straight victory and pushing them to a 7-2 record this season. In the win, second-year quarterback Drake Maye once again proved why he’s one of the NFL’s brightest young stars.

The 23-year-old completed 19 of 29 passes for 259 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, earning a 102.5 passer rating against one of the league’s top defenses. Supported by a balanced run game and sharp route running from receivers Stefon Diggs and Demario “Pop” Douglas, Maye controlled the pace in the first half before holding firm as the Falcons rallied late.

Drake Maye didn’t just lead his team to another win — he also etched his name in the record books. His 259-yard, two-touchdown outing marked his eighth consecutive game with at least 200 passing yards and a passer rating of 100 or higher.

That performance allowed Maye to surpass Patrick Mahomes for the longest such streak by a quarterback under 24 years old.
