Mike Vrabel didn't want his Sunday ruined by questions about Drake Maye's struggles
Vrabel shut down questions about Drake Maye's struggles postgame, with Maye coming off a runner-up MVP season in 2025.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye finished second in the MVP voting in 2025.
Sharp take
Sharp SixStartWrong · −9.7A coach dodging questions isn't news, it's a press conference. Maye is rostered at 100% ownership for a reason, and one bad stretch doesn't erase a 34.8 value-over-replacement projection. He's a 4.5-point favorite at home against Pittsburgh with a healthy 41.5 total. Start him and ignore the noise; Vrabel being tired of your questions doesn't change your lineup card.
