"Maye has arguably been the biggest reason for the Patriots' turnaround, though. The second-year quarterback emerged as an MVP candidate during the regular season, leading the league in completion percentage (72), yards per attempt (8.9), and passer rating (113.5). He was also among the league leaders in passing yards (4,394) and touchdowns (31), leading the Patriots to a 10-win improvement (14-3)."
