Drake Maye's Message to Patriots, Reaction to AFC Title-Clinching Play Revealed in Mic'd Up Video

Joseph ZuckerJan 29, 2026

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye drilled home exactly what he and his teammates needed to do in order to secure victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC title game.

The Patriots shared some mic'd up footage from Maye during the final minutes of the game.

"One first down!" he said as players are gathering for the huddle:

Maye got that pivotal first down when he ran seven yards to the left on a bootleg.

"That's how you do that!" he said in celebration after getting past the chains. "That's how you do that s--t!"

Maye registered little impact through the air as both quarterbacks struggled in the snowy conditions. He went 10-of-21 for 86 yards and was sacked five times.

The second-year signal-caller did run for 65 yards on 10 carries, though, and head coach Mike Vrabel trusted him enough to put the ball in his hands for one of the game's most important plays.
