Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was serenaded with chants of \u201cMVP\u201d at Gillette Stadium throughout Thursday night\u2019s win over the Jets, but he shifted the attention to a teammate when asked about them after the game. <\/p>\n
Maye joked that they \u201cmay have been\u201d for rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson because Henderson scored all three of the team\u2019s touchdowns in their 27-14 win. The scores gave Henderson five touchdowns in the last two games and his play with Rhamondre Stevenson sidelined by a toe injury has shown why he Patriots took him in the second round of this year\u2019s draft. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was a big time for him stepping up, and it\u2019s been great for him to get all these reps, to keep getting these reps,\u201d Maye said, via a transcript from the team. \u201cHe wants to be great. He\u2019s just showing up every day and asking questions. Get out here, rookie. Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, I think just continuing for him to keep going the oncoming weeks and know that him and Mondre and our backs, we can create a good one-two thing going. Looking forward to have Mondre back, but TreVeyon stepped up huge.\u201d<\/p>\n
The MVP chants weren\u2019t for Henderson, but his emergence as another weapon in the offense isn\u2019t going to do anything to hurt Maye\u2019s chances of winding up with the award come the end of the season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was serenaded with chants of \u201cMVP\u201d at Gillette Stadium throughout Thursday night\u2019s win over…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":378379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-378378","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115548252159498785","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
