The Patriots played their second primetime game of the season on Thursday, beating the Jets 27–14. It was New England's eighth straight win and they are now No. 1 in the AFC standings. Quarterback Drake Maye played very well and the Prime broadcast reacted in kind, showering the rising star with compliments about his skill, pointing abilities and humbleness.
Meanwhile, online something else was happening. Maye was officially becoming Drake “Drake Maye” Maye. Yes, Maye's name has somehow become his nickname over the last few weeks and it's difficult to pinpoint exactly how that happened.
