Rising star Drake Maye joined an exclusive New England Patriots group in Sunday’s victory over the Atlanta Falcons, becoming only the third Patriots quarterback since 2000 to be sacked at least five times in consecutive games.

Drake Maye and the New England Patriots are the hottest team in the NFL, winning six in a row after a thriller Sunday vs. the Atlanta Falcons. His wife Ann Maye stayed hot with her game-day fits as well. So far in his second season, Maye has thrown for 2285 yards, 17 touchdowns and only four interceptions.

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and quarterback Drake Maye commented on their viral moment on the sideline during Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Unlike the Browns, who had game-wrecker Myles Garrett (5 sacks) making Maye’s life miserable, the Falcons took turns with Jalon Walker, LaCale London and Brandon Dorlus bringing the Patriots quarterback down twice each.

Patriots QB coach Ashton Grant credits Maye's rapid development to his willingness to be challenged and ability to quickly apply corrections. That was seen in Thursday's practice.

The Patriots look to improve to 7-2 as they host the Falcons on Sunday, with Drake Maye playing at an MVP level.
