FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - When New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye scored late in the third quarter of a 32-13 win over the Cleveland Browns, fans started chanting "MVP! MVP! MVP!"
On the next play, when Maye connected with Kayson Bagger on a huge ball for a 39-y19 football, the chants went into overdrive.
"I was joking with him about the MVP like last week. I don't think it's right for Maya, the elderly talk (6-2) to the Patriots, who won five surprise NFL teams."
Maye was about 24-24 for 282 with three tackles and one catch against Brountun while adding seven 50-yard carries.
Entering Week 8 (+750) the Kansas City Chiefs are only trailing the Kansas City Chiefs (+165) Trambace Mahomes (+165), the Tama Bay Buccaneers MVP (+375) and the Buffalo Bills (+400) and Buffalo Bassfalo (+400).
"It's been incredible to watch Drake grow. Obviously, he's coming out and playing at a high level right now," senior Hunter Henry said.It's really fun to go out there and play with him.

May's deep ball accuracy was a significant part of his success.He was 4-for-5 for 135 yards and a TD on throws of 20 yards or more against the Browns.He is now completing 75% of his throws of at least 20 yards this season, the highest completion rate by a qualified quarterback through eight games since he began tracking all NFL games in 2006.
"He's doing his thing. He's hooping like I always said," Patriots safety Jalin Hawkins said of the signal-all."It's power, man, usually.
Maye, who said he didn't hear the MVP laugh on Sunday, needs to improve, such as writing more in the red zone and his freshman year – which he didn't see at 3 – where he didn't see Browns Linebacker Carson Schwesinger.
The Patriots returned to Gillette Field and Maite expressed his welcome from the Roosters.
"The fans have been amazing all season," Maye said."It's been really comforting to see the difference from last year [4-13 record] to this year. Man, it's been a journey."
