Tar Heels in NFL: Drake Maye looking like MVP as he makes more NFL history

Posted Dec 29, 2025
It was a perfect example of why Drake Maye should be NFL MVP. Maye made more NFL and New England Patriots history, throwing a career-high five touchdown passes and leading the team to touchdowns on all six of his drives in a 42-10 thrashing of the New York Jets on Sunday. His QBR of 99.8 was the highest since the metric was first kept in 2006. (Tar Heel Tribune)
