Drake Maye threw five TDs in the first half and sat for the rest of the day as the New England Patriots torched the New York Jets from the Meadowlands.

Drake Maye’s face broke into a smile when talking about Patriots rookie Efton Chism III’s first career touchdown in New England’s 42-10 win over the Jets on Sunday. “Chis getting into the end zone was pretty cool,” Maye said. On a day with a lot of Patriots’ touchdowns, this one stood out.

In a 42-10 blowout win over the New York Jets, Maye finished the game 19-of-21 for 256 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, and a passer rating of 157.0. He became the first player in NFL history to complete 90% of his passes, 250+ passing yard,s and 5 TDs in a single game.

Drake Maye and the New England Patriots have been impressive this season after a disappointing 4-13 record last year.

The Patriots quarterback joins Tom Brady, who did it for the organization 11 times, and Drew Bledsoe, who accomplished the feat twice. Maye continues to have a strong sophomore season as well as add to his MVP case. The 23-year-old’s 73.3 QBR going into the game against the Jets ranked first in the league.
