THE HIDDEN REASON DRAKE MAYE IS OFFICIALLY FAVORED TO WIN THE NFL MVP
Drake Maye is the new MVP favourite after a 157.0 rating performance. Plus, the NFL fines Jets’ Jermaine Johnson for an illegal hit.
For the first time since Tom Brady’s last year in 2019, the Patriots are back on top of the AFC East.
They didn’t just win last weekend—they steamrolled the Jets, 42-10. And when the Bills lost a close one to the Eagles, 13-12, New England clinched the division.
Now, the Patriots have a real shot at grabbing the AFC’s No. 1 seed. All they need is a win over the Dolphins on Sunday and for the Broncos to lose to the Chargers. If Denver pulls off a win in Week 18, though, it won’t matter what the Patriots do—they’ll drop to No. 2.
While the Pats are gearing up for Miami, the Jets, who are basically just playing out the string, got some bad news thanks to New England.
Drake Maye took a nasty hit last week, and it cost Jets defensive end Jermaine Johnson. The NFL fined Johnson $17,389 for hitting Maye in the head and neck. Two other Jets—Jordan Clark and Isaiah Davis—picked up smaller fines for taunting and using the helmet.
Maye, for his part, had a monster game against the Jets. He threw for 256 yards, five touchdowns, and no picks, with a nearly perfect 157.0 passer rating. Honestly, the only blemish was that hit, which could’ve been a lot worse.
Here’s what happened: Late in the second quarter, on third-and-6, Maye dropped back and fired one to Stefon Diggs. The pass hit the turf, but the Patriots caught a break with a roughing-the-passer penalty. Both Jowon Briggs and Jermaine Johnson got to Maye, but it was Johnson’s hit to the face that drew the flag and the fine.
Now, after that kind of performance, Maye’s the front-runner for NFL MVP. Matthew Stafford, meanwhile, struggled against Atlanta—269 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions—and now Maye sits at the top of the MVP odds, according to DraftKings. Stafford is second, but it’s a big gap. Christian McCaffrey and Trevor Lawrence are way behind.
Some people are arguing that Stafford deserves it, especially with the Patriots’ softer schedule. Bill Simmons, though, isn’t buying that at all. He broke it down on The Ringer, and he’s pretty fired up.
“You look at the advanced metrics, and it’s just obvious for Maye. I know I sound like a Boston homer, but come on. The Patriots have the top offense by EPA, and Maye is leading or near the top in every category. He’s making wild throws under pressure, scrambling for his life half the time.
“He’s dropping dimes all over the field—honestly, I’ve seen him make a dozen throws this season that are as good as anything in Patriots history. Stafford has Puka Nacua—maybe the best receiver in the league—making five-yard catches and turning them into sixty. Plus, Stafford’s had Davante Adams for most of the year, a better line, indoor games, and Sean McVay calling plays.
“But here’s what blows my mind: the Rams are the freaking six seed. The MVP almost always goes to a guy on a top-two seed.”
THE DROP CRISIS: INSIDE JERRY JEUDY’S SHOCKING 18.8% DROP RATE DURING THE 2025 SEASON
Is Jerry Jeudy the problem? Analyse the Browns' 2026 offseason strategy, Shedeur Sanders’ future, and new coaching changes.
The Browns kick off their real offseason work next week at the draft combine. That’s when they dive into figuring out who’s actually out there on the free-agent and trade markets and what it’ll take to land some real upgrades.
Fixing the offence sits at the top of the to-do list. And sure, that starts with making a call at quarterback because it’s always about the quarterback in Cleveland. But honestly, the problems run deeper than just who lines up under centre. Shedeur Sanders, the guy with the job last year, probably got a raw deal. He played behind an offensive line held together with duct tape, lost his star running back Quinshon Judkins to a season-ending injury, and threw to receivers who were either too green or just didn’t seem to care.
Jerry Jeudy stands out among that last group. The Browns brought him in from Denver, paid him a fat three-year, $52.5 million contract, and watched him put up 1,229 yards in 2024. Then, in 2025, his game just collapsed. The effort and discipline disappeared.
The Browns can’t just cut Jeudy loose right now, so the hope is they can straighten him out and get him back to what he was; even a little closer to that would go a long way, no matter who wins the quarterback job.
That job fixing Jeudy falls to the new wide receivers coach, Christian Jones. Dan Labbe at Cleveland.com pointed out that Jeudy’s 12 drops and that ugly 18.8% drop rate last year don’t match up with the rest of his career. Maybe 2024 was the real Jeudy, and 2025 was just a bad year. Either way, Jones has to figure out what went wrong and fix it.
Jones isn’t new to the Browns. He started as the tight ends coach last year, then Todd Monken moved him over to receivers, a rare move, considering most of the offensive staff turned over. Jones worked with the Giants as a quarterbacks coach for the last couple of years, and before that, he helped coach receivers in Minnesota. He knows what it looks like when guys like Justin Jefferson or Adam Thielen are locked in.
The Browns don’t need another Jefferson, though adding some new blood at receiver is almost a sure thing in this draft. They’ve got young guys, Isaiah Bond, Malachi Corley, and Gauge Larvadain, brought in last year, and Jones will have to get them ready. Still, it starts at the top. They need Jeudy to show up, play hard, and set the tone. If he doesn’t, none of the other moves will matter much.
THE JETS CONNECTION: INSIDE THE AARON GLENN PLAN TO POACH ALEX ANZALONE FOR NEW YORK
Alex Anzalone is frustrated with Detroit! Analyse his social media spat and the Jets' plan to poach the veteran linebacker.
The Detroit Lions just watched two big pieces of their defence, Alex Anzalone and DJ Reader, hit free agency. Their contracts were officially voided this week, and now the team’s dealing with a bigger cap headache.
It’s not just a little setback, either. SI.com’s John Maakaron pointed out that the voided deals for Anzalone and Reader tack on another $4.9 million in dead cap for 2026. Altogether, the Lions are staring down $9.2 million in dead money for this upcoming season. That’s a tough pill to swallow, and it definitely makes the team’s decisions about both players a lot more complicated.
Even with the cap hit already locked in, the Lions could still try to bring Anzalone and Reader back. Starting March 9, during the legal tampering period, both guys can sit down with GM Brad Holmes and talk about new deals, assuming everyone’s interested.
But honestly, it’s starting to look like Alex Anzalone’s time in Detroit might be over. Greg Auman at Fox Sports thinks he’ll follow former Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to the New York Jets. Anzalone’s been a staple in the middle of Detroit’s defence for five years, usually racking up around 14 starts and 98 tackles a season, and he’s done it for a pretty reasonable $6 million a year. But if Glenn really wants his old guys, and the Jets are calling, that might be all she wrote for Anzalone in Detroit.
There’s more. Zack Rosenblatt from The Athletic said on “Jets Final Drive” that the Jets are “actively” looking for players who already get Aaron Glenn’s style, guys like Anzalone and cornerback Amik Robertson. So that’s another sign the Jets are circling.
And things got even messier this week when Anzalone got into it with the Lions’ social media team. SI.com’s Christian Booher said Anzalone called out the team for leaving out his career-high nine pass breakups in a Valentine’s Day video that highlighted defensive plays, but none of his made the cut. He even pointed out that other free agents got featured, while he didn’t. He posted about it, then ended up deleting the comment, but you get the sense he wasn’t thrilled.
All signs are pointing to some big changes for Detroit’s defence and possibly a new home for Anzalone.
