On the other hand, Drake Maye, the 23-year-old quarterback, has transformed the Patriots’ offense in his second season. Entering Week 13, he has already recorded a remarkable season, completing 71% of his passes for 3,130 yards, 21 touchdowns, and only six interceptions. His performance will be crucial in the upcoming Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants.

Other MVP Contenders
The MVP race includes several other strong candidates:
