NFL sweeps Drake Maye’s Week 5 performance vs. the Raiders under the rug

Writer Sara Marshall argues that the NFL overlooked New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye following his strong performance against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. Despite being considered a top candidate for AFC Offensive Player of the Week after previously winning it in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills, the league awarded the honor to Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren instead.

Marshall contends that critics and the league are quick to highlight Maye's early-season struggles while failing to give him adequate credit for his recovery. The writer suggests outside skepticism persists due to general fatigue with New England's historical dominance, though Patriots supporters can celebrate the quarterback's recent resurgence.
