Matthew Stafford entered Week 13 viewed as a slight favorite over Drake Maye in what looks like a two-way race for NFL MVP. With Week 13 in the books, that script is flipped. Maye led his New England Patriots to a blowout 33-15 win over the New York Giants on Monday night to close out the NFL week.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye continued making his MVP case against the Giants on Monday night. Maye was 24-of-31 for 282 yards and two touchdowns to help the Patriots to a 33-15 win. It was New England’s 10th straight win and it moved them to 11-2 ahead of their Week 14 bye.

After being second in betting odds over the past two weeks to veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, Maye has overtaken the Los Angeles Rams quarterback as the frontrunner following another surgeon-like win over the New York Giants.

Here we'll try to look at and discuss why Drake Maye continues to turn a lot of heads and leads the NFL MVP Power Rankings.

But pundits who were high on Maye have been rewarded week after week. To the point that hearing his name and "MVP" in the same sentence barely registers anymore. Meaning the goalposts should be moved for maximum effect.

The Patriots started with good field position after a 39-yard kickoff return and drove into the red zone. But they bogged down inside the 10-yard line and settled for a field goal after failing to reach the end zone from first-and-goal at the 7-yard line.
