Became the starting quarterback in Week 6 after serving as the backup to QB Jacoby Brissett for the first five weeks of the season.
Saw first NFL action at the New York Jets (9/19), entering the game with 4:24 remaining in the fourth quarter. He completed his first NFL pass to Antonio Gibson for no gain, finishing 4-of-8 for 22 yards, and rushing for 12 yards on 2 attempts.
Made his first NFL start vs. Houston (10/13), finishing 20-of-33 for 243 yards and 3 touchdowns. Completed his first touchdown on a 40-yard pass to WR Kayshon Boutte in the second quarter, the longest pass for the Patriots since a 48-yard pass play from QB Bailey Zappe to RB Kevin Harris at Buffalo on Dec. 31, 2023, and the longest touchdown pass for New England since QB Mac Jones completed a 58-yard touchdown pass to TE Pharaoh Brown at the New York Jets on Sept. 24, 2023. The 40-yard touchdown pass on his first-career touchdown pass is the longest for a rookie Patriots quarterback on his first career touchdown pass since QB Drew Bledsoe's first-career touchdown pass resulted in a 54-yard touchdown to TE Ben Coates on Sept. 5, 1993 vs. Buffalo. Became the fourth Patriots rookie quarterback to throw at least 3 touchdown passes in a single game, joining Drew Bledsoe, Jim Plunkett and Mac Jones. Became the 14th rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least 3 touchdowns in his first-career start, joining M.C. Reynolds (3), Jacky Lee (3), Dan Marino (3), Kevin Sweeney (3), Ed Rubbert (3), Todd Marinovich (3), Tony Banks (3), John Stofa (4), Josh Freeman (3), Matt McGloin (3), Marcus Mariota (4), Trevor Lawrence (3) and Will Levis (4) as the only rookie quarterbacks to accomplish the feat in their first-career start. Threw 3 touchdowns and led the team in rushing with 38 yards, becoming the first quarterback to lead his team in rushing and throw for at least 3 touchdown passes in his first-career start since at least 1950.
Had 2 touchdowns against Jacksonville to give him 5 touchdowns in his first two starts, the most passing touchdowns through two-career starts by a Patriots player. Jimmy Garoppolo (2016), Tom Ramsey (1987), and Tom Yewcic (1962) each had 4. Finished 26-of-37 for 276 yards and 2 touchdowns. His first touchdown of the day, a 16-yard pass to RB JaMycal Hasty, were the first points scored on the opening drive by the Patriots this season.
Scored his first rushing touchdown with a 17-yard scoring run in the first quarter in the win vs. the New York Jets (10/27), the longest touchdown run by a Patriots QB since Bailey Zappe scored on a 17-yard touchdown run at Buffalo on Dec. 31, 2023. Finished the game with 3 rushing attempts for 46 yards with long runs of 17 yards and 18 yards before leaving the game in the second quarter due to injury.
Had 95 yards rushing on 8 attempts at Tennessee (11/3), the third time in team history that a Patriots quarterback reached at least 90 yards rushing in a game and the third-most rushing yards by a Patriots QB in team history. Had a 26-yard run in the first quarter, the longest run by a Patriots QB since Cam Newton's 49-yard run vs. the New York Jets on Jan. 3, 2021, and added a 22-yard run in the third quarter. On third-and-5 with four seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, extended the play by 11.82 seconds, the second-longest time to throw on any touchdown pass since tracking began in 2016, to connect with RB Rhamondre Stevenson for a 5-yard touchdown pass to force overtime. Maye is the only Patriots QB with two 20-yard runs in a single game since 1980.
Finished 15-of-25 for 184 yards and 1 touchdown with 25 rushing yards in the win at Chicago (11/10). Completed a 2-yard pass to WR Ja'Lynn Polk for the lone touchdown of the game.
Set career-highs in completions and passing yards vs. the L.A. Rams (11/17), finishing 29-of-39 for 282 yards and 2 touchdowns. Added 27 rushing yards with a long run of 16 yards.
Recorded his 10th touchdown to a different receiver on a 38-yard touchdown pass to TE Austin Hooper in the fourth quarter at Miami (11/24), tying former Denver Broncos QB Steve Ramsey (1971-73) for the most consecutive touchdown to a different receiver to start a career.
Was 24-of-30 for 238 yards for a career-high 80.0 completion percentage and added 59 rushing yards vs. Indianapolis (12/1) en route to the team's most yards on offense (422) since it had 409 total yards on offense at Minnesota on Nov. 24, 2022. Had a 41-yard run in the first quarter, which is tied for the third-longest run by a Patriots quarterback. It is the fifth time a Patriots quarterback had a 40-yard run in a game, and it is the longest run by a Patriots quarterback since QB Cam Newton had a 49-yard run vs. the New York Jets on Jan. 3, 2021. Converted the third 2-point conversion of the season when he connected with WR Kayshon Boutte in the fourth quarter after an 11-yard touchdown run by RB Antonio Gibson.
